Heaven On Their Minds (Jerome Pradon)

My mind is clearer now

At last all too well

I can see where we all

Soon will be

If you strip away

The myth from the man

You will see where we all

Soon will be

Jesus

You've started to believe

The things they say of you

You really do believe

This talk of god is true

And all the good you've done

Will soon get swept away

You've begun to matter more

Than the things you say

Listen jesus I don't like what I see

All I ask is that you listen to me

And remember I've been your right hand man all along

You have set them all on fire

They think they've found a new messiah

And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong

I remember when this whole thing began

No talk of god then we called you a man

And believe me my admiration for you hasn't died

But every word you say today

Gets twisted round some other way

And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied

Nazareth your famous son should have stayed the great unknown

Like his father carving wood he'd have made good

Tables chairs and oaken chests would have suited jesus best

He'd have caused nobody harm no one alarm

Listen jesus do you care for your race

Don't you see we must keep in our place

We are occupied

Have you forgotten how put down we are

And our conqueres object to another noisy sect

And they'll crush us if we go too far

If we go too far

Listen jesus to the warning I give

Please remember that I want us to live

But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour

All your followers are blind

Too much heaven on their minds

It was beautiful but now it's sour

Yes it's all gone sour

Listen jesus to the warning I give

Please remember that I want us to live

So listen jesus to the warning I give

I I just want us to live

It's all

Gone sour
