(Kye Fleming, Janis Ian)
|
I went to see my sister
|
She was staying with a friend
|
Who had turned into a preacher
|
To save the world from sin
|
He said "First deny your body,
|
Then learn to submit
|
Pray to be made worthy,
|
And tithe your ten percent"
|
I said "Is this all there is,
|
Just the letter of the law?"
|
Something's wrong.
|
|
I went to see my brother
|
On the 32nd floor
|
Of a building down on Wall Street
|
You could hear the future's roar
|
He said "Here we make decisions,
|
And we trade commodities;
|
If you tell me where there's famine,
|
I can make you guarantees"
|
I said "Is this all there is,
|
Power to be strong?"
|
Something's wrong.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Something's wrong in heaven tonight
|
You can almost hear them cry
|
Angels to the left and the right
|
Saying "What about the love
|
What about the love
|
What about the love?"
|
|
I went to see my neighbor
|
He'd been taken to a home
|
For the weak and the discarded
|
Who have no place to go
|
He said "Here I lack for nothing
|
I am fed and I am clothed,
|
But at times I miss the freedom
|
I used to know"
|
I said "Is this all there is
|
When your usefulness is gone?"
|
Something's wrong.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I looked into the mirror
|
Proud as I could be
|
And I saw my pointing finger
|
Pointing back at me
|
Saying "Who named you accuser
|
Who gave you the scales"
|
I hung my head in sorrow
|
I could almost feel the nails
|
I said "This is how it is
|
To be crucified and judged
|
Without love."
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
