silver or lead

his body's abused

he'll die with the accused

he's losing his patience with life

if there's a bed

he cannot rest his head

'cause we take too much of his time

so quit asking jesus for help

and go out of find it yourself

please quit asking jesus for help

go out and find it yourself

silver or lead

holes in your pockets

or holes in your head

silver or lead

now we get no money

'cause jesus is dead

how to explain

what the world wants to know

i don't know where i should begin

i sit by his side

as the heir to his throne

careful not to cast a stone

it's silver or lead

holes in your pockets

or holes in your head

silver or lead

now we give no money

'cause jesus is dead

now silver or lead

holes in your pockets

or holes in your head

silver or lead

now we get your money

'cause jesus is dead
