american crucifixion resurrection
Singer:four seasons, the
unbound slaves stand outside the gates
with lengths of broken chains they wait
empty stomachs filled with hate
no one told the heads of state
the prince of peace is sleeping late
who will wait of lords and ladies
who will cry when they lose their mounts?
sleeping through the hills of error
waking in a reign of terror
will you ever understand?
once had a boy just like you
once had my own to sing my troubles too
i watched him see and understand
but then i gave him to the world outside
where you think you're going?
you're s'pposed to call me mister
so then you call me by my name
you better call me by my name
see him standing there outside the gate
his thoughts of meat confuses love with hate
thinking i had joined the heads of state
the prince of peace is not too late
i must stay with the lords and ladies
i must stay to protect their child
rowing in a reign of terror
maybe he will see his error
love will make you understand
love will make you understand
