Heaven On Their Minds

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 the 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 ev'ry 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 a great unknown
Like his father carving wood, he'd have made good
Tables chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best
They'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
I am frightened by the crowd
For they are getting much too loud
And they'll crush us if they 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 ev'ry 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
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
