[00:11.61]Oh Jerusalem yeah, oh Jerusalem, oh Jerusalem, oh Jerusalem...
[00:29.13]
[00:34.10]Realizing that there's no place else to go
[00:38.33]And there's nobody I know who can help me
[00:44.24]Text book solutions are so improbable
[00:48.81]Cuz everybody else is just as empty
[00:54.08]Naked as the day that I was born, I tried to hide
[00:59.28]...behind education and philosophy
[01:04.68]Hopeless explanation to describe a situation
[01:09.71]I can't see because the world's on top of me
[01:15.73]Oh wretched man that I am, who will deliver me
[01:20.95]From the body of this death
[01:25.68]Freeing me from dust, and the superficial trust
[01:30.70]Of an enemy that seeks to take my breath
[01:35.93]Failing to connect, cuz I'm morally defect
[01:41.44]By reason of the God inside my head
[01:46.48]Causing me to see, only what pertains to me
[01:52.18]Believing I'm alive when I'm still dead
[01:57.25]Limited to earth, unable to find out my worth
[02:01.66]Cuz I... can't see past my own vanity
[02:07.43]If I'm not included, then I just have to remove it
[02:12.87]From my mind because it has to be in sanity
[02:18.10]Oh wretched man that I am, who will deliver me
[02:23.97]From the body of this death
[02:28.61]Can I even factor, that I've only been an actor
[02:33.90]In this staged interpretation of this day
[02:39.10]Focused on the shadow, with my back turned to the light
[02:44.17]Too intelligent to see it's me in the way
[02:49.53]What a paradox, having God trapped in a box
[02:54.93]All this time professing to be spiritual
[03:00.03]Naturally pretending, that I'm actually defending
[03:05.28]God (?) don't need material
[03:09.24]
[03:10.55]Oh Jerusalem, wash thy heart from wickedness
[03:15.74]That thou may be saved from thy deception
[03:21.03]How long, shall thy face those lies within thee
[03:25.56]Oh Jerusalem, keeping thee from perfection
[03:29.31]
[03:32.07]Submit to truth, leave the deception of thy youth
[03:35.67]So we could walk in the council of authority
[03:41.46]Forget the proof, our generation so aloof
[03:46.56]Only follow in the steps of the majority
[03:51.91]Trust in the Lord, with all thy heart
[03:55.61]And lay not to thine, oh an understanding in all thy ways
[04:02.47]Acknowledge Him, and He shall correct our paths
[04:07.70]Be (?) you can follow him
[04:12.69]We judge and condemn, just as ignorant as them
[04:17.38]Who religion tells us that we should ignore
[04:23.46]Perpetrating we're in covenant with Him
[04:27.73]Exposed by the very things that we adore
[04:33.07]We grin and shake hands, then lay ambush for the man
[04:38.07]Who has a different point of view then us
[04:43.63]Infuriated cuz he doesn't understand
[04:48.67]Bringing up those things we don't want to discuss
[04:54.02]Why still do evil, we don't know how to do good
[04:58.89]Walking on in darkness running from the light, ey
[05:04.57]Led to believe, because we live in neighborhoods
[05:09.33]Telling us what's going on will be alright
[05:15.07]Oh so repressed, so convinced that I was blessed
[05:20.21]When I played with my game of Monopoly
[05:25.39]Oh to suggest, that my life is still a mess
[05:30.50]Who reveal the pride I'm hiding is what's stopping me
[05:34.07]
[05:35.55]Oh Jerusalem, wash thy heart from wickedness
[05:41.05]That thou may be saved from thy deception
[05:46.65]How long, shall thy face those lies within thee
[05:51.04]Oh Jerusalem keeping them from perfection
[05:55.38]
[05:57.26]Abide in me and I in you, as the branch cannot bare
[06:02.41]...fruit of itself except in the vine
[06:07.15]I am the vine, ye are the branches, He's in live in me
[06:12.44]And I in him, the same bring forth much fruit
[06:18.16]Without me, you can do nothing
[06:21.38]Oh Jerusalem, you're traditions have deceived you
[06:28.52]I've chosen you, you haven't chosen me
[06:32.13]Do whatsoever, you asking my name he may give to you
[06:38.75]But in vain they call my name
[06:41.48]teaching doctrines just the same
[06:44.34]Justified among themselves
[06:49.41]But God know with the heart, what man esteemed as smart
[06:54.52]Is an abomination to Emmanuel
[07:00.44]Just repent, turn from selfish motivation
[07:05.56]So iniquity will not cause your demise
[07:10.79]Make you a new heart and a new spirit   for why would he die
[07:17.10]Oh Jerusalem, please tell me why
[07:21.14]I have no pleasure in the death of him to die
[07:25.71]Says the Lord God where forth turn yourselves and live
[07:31.06]It's not the talkers, but the walkers and his word
[07:36.02]Are the only ones the Father will forgive
[07:39.09]
[07:41.54]Oh Jerusalem, wash thy heart from wickedness
[07:46.77]That thou may be saved from thy deception
[07:52.42]How long, shall thy face those lies within thee
[07:56.81]Oh Jerusalem, providing you no protection
[08:01.29]
[08:02.25]Oh Jerusalem...
