(Bob Dylan) |
|
Go ahead and talk about him because he makes you doubt, |
|
Because he has denied himself the things that you can't live without. |
|
Laugh at him behind his back just like the others do, |
|
Remind him of what he used to be when he comes walkin' through. |
|
He's the property of Jesus |
|
Resent him to the bone |
|
You got something better |
|
You've got a heart of stone |
|
Stop your conversation when he passes on the street, |
|
Hope he falls upon himself, oh, won't that be sweet |
|
Because he can't be exploited by superstition anymore |
|
Because he can't be bribed or bought by the things that you adore. |
|
He's the property of Jesus |
|
Resent him to the bone |
|
You got something better |
|
You've got a heart of stone |
|
When the whip that's keeping you in line doesn't make him jump, |
|
Say he's hard-of-hearin', say that he's a chump. |
|
Say he's out of step with reality as you try to test his nerve |
|
Because he doesn't pay no tribute to the king that you serve. |
|
He's the property of Jesus |
|
Resent him to the bone |
|
You got something better |
|
You've got a heart of stone |
|
Say that he's a loser 'cause he got no common sense |
|
Because he don't increase his worth at someone else's expense. |
|
Because he's not afraid of trying, 'cause he don't look at you and smile, |
|
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style. |
|
He's the property of Jesus |
|
Resent him to the bone |
|
You got something better |
|
You've got a heart of stone |
|
You can laugh at salvation, you can play Olympic games, |
|
You think that when you rest at last you'll go back from where you came. |
|
But you've picked up quite a story and you've changed since the womb. |
|
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom? |
|
He's the property of Jesus |
|
Resent him to the bone |
|
You got something better |
|
You've got a heart of stone |
