He's an unidentified flying object
You will see him in the air
He's an unidentified flying object
You will drop your hands and stare
You will be afraid to tell your neighbours
They might think that it's not true
But when you open up the morning papers
You will know they've seen it too
He will come back like he promised
With the price already paid
He will call out for his followers
And take them all away
He's an unidentified flying object
He will sweep down from the sky
He's an unidentified flying object
Some will sleep, but will not die
He's an unidentified flying object
Coming back to take you home
He's an unidentified flying object
He will roll away your stone
And if there's life on other planets
Then I'm sure that he must know
And he's been there once already
And has died to save their souls
He's an unidentified flying object
You will see him in the air
He's an unidentified flying object
You will drop your hands and stare
He's an unidentified flying object
Coming back to take you home
He's an unidentified flying object
He will roll away your stone
He's an unidentified flying object
You will see him in the air
He's an unidentified flying object
You will drop your hands and stare
You will be afraid to tell your neighbours
They might think that it's not true
But when you open up the morning papers

And if there's life on other planets
Then I'm sure that he must know
And he's been there once already
And has died to save their souls
He's an unidentified flying object
You will see him in the air
He's an unidentified flying object
You will drop your hands and stare
He's an unidentified flying object
Coming back to take you home
He's an unidentified flying object
He will roll away your stone

Don't believe in Beatles, I don't believe in rock
I don't believe in the cutting edge, that's just journalist talk
I don't believe in the cover story or the gospel chart
You can easily hit number one with a bullet but totally miss the heart
Oh I yeah I believe in God
I don't believe in politics while the masses stay unfed
Till the leaders change priorities and supply the poor with bread
Don't believe in the revolution or the empty words of peace
You can tear all of the governments down you still won't find release
But I oh I believe in God
I believe in God
I don't believe the papacy when fallible lies are told
If they really want to help the poor they should sell some of their gold
And I don't believe the Aryans are the master race
If you think that Jesus is white you'd be surprised to see his face
But I oh I believe in God
I believe in God
Don't believe in Esperanto or the dreams of Babylon
If we all spoke the same language, long ago we would'a built the bomb
And I don't believe in money the way lives are bought and sold
And when the world is ended bankrupt I'm gonna walk the streets of gold
No I don't believe in evolution, I was born to be free
Ain't gonna let no anthropologist make a monkey out of me
And I don't believe the devil, I ain't gonna be his slave
And when I'm finished dying I'm a gonna bust out of my grave
Oh I yeah I
Oh I, I and I
Oh I oh I believe in God
I believe in God
I believe in God
I believe in God
Don't believe in Beatles, I don't believe in rock
I don't believe in the cutting edge, that's just journalist talk

Oh I yeah I believe in God
I don't believe in politics while the masses stay unfed

Don't believe in the revolution or the empty words of peace

reader's digest
[Go to Song Page]
Alice is a drag queen
Bowie's somewhere in between
Other bands are looking mean
Me, I'm trying to stay clean
I don't dig the radio
I hate what the charts pick
Rock and roll may not be dead
But it's getting sick
All over the world disc jockeys talk the same
And every town I play is like the one from where I came
The Rolling Stones are millionaires
Flower children pallbearers
Beatles said all you need is love
And then they broke up
Jimi took an overdose
Janis followed so close
The whole music scene and
All the bands are pretty comatose
This time last year, people didn't wanna hear
They looked at Jesus from afar
This year he's a superstar
Dear John, who's more popular now
I've been listening to Paul's records
I think he really is dead
It's 1973, I wonder who we're gonna see
Who's in power now
I think I'll turn on the TV
The man on the news said
China's gonna beat us
We shot all our dreamers
And there's no one left to lead us
We need a solution, we need salvation
Let's send some people to the moon
And gather information
They brought back a big bag of rocks
Only cost thirteen billion
Must be nice rocks
You think it's such a sad thing
When you see a fallen king
Then you find out they're only princes to begin with
And everybody has to choose
Whether they'll win or lose
Follow God or sing the blues
And who they're gonna sin with
What a mess the world is in
I wonder who began it
Don't ask me, I'm only visiting this planet
This world is not my home
I'm just passing through
Alice is a drag queen
Bowie's somewhere in between

persecution
[Go to Song Page]
the outlaw
[Go to Song Page]
Some say he was an outlaw
That he roamed across the land
With a band of unschooled ruffians
And a few old fishermen
No one knew just where he came from
Or exactly what he'd done
But they said it must be something bad
That kept him on the run
Some say he was a poet
That he'd stand upon the hill
And his voice could calm an angry crowd
Or make the waves stand still
That he spoke in many parables
That few could understand
But the people sat for hours
Just to listen to this man
Some say he was a sorcerer
A man of mystery
He could walk upon the water
He could make a blind man see
That he conjured wine at weddings
And did tricks with fish and bread
That he talked of being born again
And raised people from the dead
Some say a politician
Who spoke of being free
He was followed by the masses
On the shores of Galilee
He spoke out against corruption
And he bowed to no decree
And they feared his strength and power
So they nailed him to a tree
Some say he was the son of God
A man above all men
But he came to be a servant
And to set us free from sin
And that's who I believe he was
'Cause that's who I believe
And I think we should get ready
'Cause it's time for us to leave
Some say he was an outlaw
That he roamed across the land
With a band of unschooled ruffians
And a few old fishermen
No one knew just where he came from
Or exactly what he'd done
But they said it must be something bad
That kept him on the run
Some say he was a poet

And his voice could calm an angry crowd

why don't you look into jesus
[Go to Song Page]
Sipping whiskey from a paper cup
You drown your sorrows ‘til you can’t stand up
Take a look at what you’ve done to yourself
Why don’t you put the bottle back on the shelf
Yellow fingered from your cigarettes
Your hands are shaking while your body sweats
Why don’t you look into Jesus
He got the answers
Gonorrhoea on valentine’s day (VD [Spoken very faintly])
And you’re still looking for the perfect lay
You think rock ’n’ roll will set you free
Honey, you’ll be deaf before you’re thirty three
Shooting junk ‘til you’re half insane
Broken needle in your purple vein
Why don’t you look into Jesus
He's got the answers
You work all night, sleep all day
Take your money, throw it all away
You say you’re gonna be a superstar
But you've never hung around enough to find out who you really are
Now think back to when you were a child
Your soul was free and your heart ran wild
Each day was different, life was a thrill
You knew tomorrow would be better still
But things have changed, you’re much older now
If you’re unhappy and you don’t know how
Why don’t you look into Jesus
He got the answers
Yea-ah
Ah-why don’t you look into Jesus
He got the answers
I said now
Oh why don’t you look into Jesus
He got the answer
Why don’t you look into Jesus
He got the answer
Yea-eah [Yawn-like]
Now take a look, take a look
Sipping whiskey from a paper cup
You drown your sorrows ‘til you can’t stand up
Take a look at what you’ve done to yourself
Why don’t you put the bottle back on the shelf
Yellow fingered from your cigarettes
Your hands are shaking while your body sweats
Why don’t you look into Jesus
He got the answers
Gonorrhoea on valentine’s day (VD [Spoken very faintly])

shot down
[Go to Song Page]
I've been shot down, talked about
Some people scandalize my name
But here I am, talking 'bout Jesus just the same
I been knocked down, kicked around
But like a moth drawn to the flame
Here I am, talking 'bout Jesus just the same
Wo oh oh oh
I been rebuked for the things I've said
For the songs I've written and the life I've led
They say they don't understand me but I'm not surprised
Because you can't see nothing when you close your eyes
They say I'm sinful and backslidden
That I have left to follow fame
But here I am, talking 'bout Jesus just the same
Wo oh oh oh
Go Jonny
Yeah you wanna talk about my life, hey listen to me
You got your facts all backwards, one two three
And spreading rumors and gossip is a real bad game
The only name to spread is Jesus name
I've been shot down, kicked around
But like a moth drawn to the flame
Here I am, talking 'bout Jesus brother
Here I am, talking 'bout Jesus sister
Here I am, talking 'bout Jesus just the same
Wo oh oh oh
I've been shot down, talked about
Some people scandalize my name
But here I am, talking 'bout Jesus just the same

I was lost and blind then a friend of mine
Came and took me by the hand
Then he led me to his kingdom
That was in another land
Now my life has changed, it's rearranged
When I think of my past I feel so strange
Wowie zowie well he saved my soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
Well he's good for the body and great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
I was all alone like a rolling stone
I was going nowhere fast
I was on the road so far from home
When the future touched my past
Now I feel so blessed 'cause he gave me a rest
And I finally feel like I've passed the test
I wanna be like him, yes that's my goal
Like a rock that doesn't roll
Oh he's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
Well he's good for the body and great for the soul

Ah-ow-yow

And he led me to his kingdom
That was in another land
Now my mind is blown, my head has grown
A solid rock ain't a rolling stone

He's the rock that doesn't roll
Well, he's the rock that doesn't roll (he's the rock that doesn't roll)
He's the rock that doesn't roll (he's the rock that doesn't roll)

You've got to rock me on the water
You've got to rock me from my grave
You've got to rock me till I'm feeling good

In the midst of the war he offered us peace
He came like a lover from out of the east
With the face of an angel and the heart of a beast
His intentions were six sixty six
He walked up to the temple with gold in his hand
And he bought off the priest and propositioned the land
And the world was his harlot and laid in the sand
While the band played six sixty six
La la na, la la na, na na la, na na na
Na na na, na na, na na na, na na na

We served at his table and slept on the floor
But he starved us and beat us and nailed us to the door
Well I'm ready to die, I can't take any more
And I'm sick of his lies and his tricks
He told us he loved us but that was a lie
There was blood in his pockets and death in his eye
Well my number is up and I'm willing to die
If the band will play six

And everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
A man and wife asleep in bed
She hears a noise and turns her head
He's gone

One disappears and one's left standing still

Moses tending sheep in the fields one day
When he thought he heard a burning scrub-brush say
Gotta free your people
From the Pharaoh's hand
Gotta take 'em all to the promised land
Moses knew that God was talking to him
So he set off to Egypt with a vigor and vim
And Moses bugged the Pharaoh, he bugged him
And he bugged him
'Till he got his people freed
He used real bugs
Yes indeed, ow ow
He got his people freed
Ow ow ow ow [x2]
Moses on the banks of the wide Red Sea
He stuck out a stick and one two three
The water rolled back
And the people walked down
Everybody knew they wouldn't drown
Pharaoh told his army to bring 'em all back
An' here come the chariots, clickety clack
Why Moses took his stick
And he closed up the water
An' the 'Gyptians all took a bath
Ow ow ow ow
What a laugh
Ow they all took a bath
Ow ow ow [cough] ow
Ow ow ow ow
Dirty 'Gyptians
Grab my foot, take my hand
Lead me on to the promised land
Milk and honey, milk and honey
Milk and honey, milk and honey
Me and all my people is here
So keep on sending manna
From the atmosphere
Milk and honey, milk and honey
Milk and honey, milk and honey
After forty long years in the wilderness
They finally saw their potential metropolis
They all gave thanks
And they all praised the Lord
Even though it took time he kept his word
He grab their foot and he tooken their hand
And he brung 'em all over
To the promised land
But it seems to me like an awful long time to be
Looking for a home
Ow ow ow ow
A mighty long roam, home
Looking for a home, a home a home
Never borrow money needlessly [cough]
