|
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, |
|
And 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 the strong?" |
|
Something's wrong. |
|
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. |
|
Something's wrong in heaven tonight. (Something's wrong.) |
|
You can almost hear them cry. (Cry.) |
|
Angels to the left and the right, |
|
Saying, "What about the love? |
|
What about the love? |
|
What about the love?" |
|
(Yeah, yeah, yeah....) |
|
(Yeah.) |
|
(Yeah.) |
|
I looked into the mirror, (Yeah.) |
|
Proud as I could be, (Yeah.) |
|
And I saw my pointing finger (Yeah.) |
|
Pointing back at me, |
|
Saying, "Who named you accuser? (Yeah.) |
|
Who gave you the scales?" (Yeah.) |
|
I hung my head in sorrow; (Yeah.) |
|
I could almost feel the nails. |
|
I said, "This is how it is |
|
To be crucified and judged |
|
Without love." |
|
Something's wrong in heaven tonight. (Something's wrong.) |
|
You can almost hear them cry. (Cry.) |
|
Angels to the left and the right, |
|
Saying, "What about the love? |
|
What about the love? |
|
What about the love of God?" |
|
Something's wrong in heaven tonight. (Something's wrong.) |
|
You can almost hear them cry. (Cry.) |
|
Angels to the left and the right, |
|
Saying, "What about the love?" |
|
What about the love? |
|
What about the love of God?" |
|
Something's wrong in heaven tonight. (Something's wrong.) |
|
You can almost hear them cry. (Cry.) |
|
Angels to the left and the right, |
|
Saying, "What about the love? |
|
What about the love? |
|
What about the love...?" |
