John the Revelator
|
Put him in an elevator
|
Take him up to the highest high
|
Take him up to the top where the mountains stop
|
Let him tell his book of lies
|
|
John the Revelator
|
He's a smooth operator
|
It's time we cut him down to size
|
Take him by the hand
|
And put him on the stand
|
Let us hear his alibis
|
|
By claiming God - As his holy right
|
He's stealing a God from the Israelites
|
Stealing a God from a Muslim, too
|
There is only one God through and through
|
Seven lies, multiplied by seven, multiplied by seven again
|
Seven angels with seven trumpets
|
Send them home on the morning train
|
Well who's that shouting?
|
John the Revelator!
|
All he ever gives us is pain
|
Well who's that shouting?
|
John the Revelator!
|
He should bow his head in shame
|
|
By and by
|
By and by
|
By and by
|
By and by
|
|
Seven lies, multiplied by seven, multiplied by seven again
|
Seven angels with seven trumpets
|
Send them home on the morning train
|
Well who's that shouting?
|
John the Revelator!
|
All he ever gives us is pain
|
Well who's that shouting?
|
John the Revelator!
|
He should bow his head in shame
|
|
By and by
|
By and by
|
John the Revelator
|
By and by
|
John the Revelator
|
By and by
