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 be swept away You 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 every word You say today, is twisted 'round some other way And they'll hurt You if they think You've lied Nazareth's 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 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? I am frightened by the crowd for we are getting much too loud 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 God Jesus, it's all gone sour Listen, Jesus to the warning I give Come on, come on, listen to me Won't you listen to me? --- Heaven on Their Minds - Queensrÿche
