Jackson Browne - The Rebel Jesus Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Original recording from the chieftains album the bells of dublin
  • All the streets are filled with laughter and light
  • And the music of the season
  • And the merchants windows are all bright
  • With the faces of the children
  • And the families hurrying to their homes
  • As the sky darkens and freezes
  • Theyll be gathering around the hearths and tales
  • Giving thanks for all gods graces
  • And the birth of the rebel jesus
  • Well they call him by the prince of peace
  • And they call him by the savior
  • And they pray to him upon the seas
  • And in every bold endeavor
  • As they fill his churches with their pride and gold
  • And their faith in him increases
  • But theyve turned the nature that I worshipped in
  • From a temple to a robbers den
  • In the words of the rebel jesus
  • We guard our world with locks and guns
  • And we guard our fine possessions
  • And once a year when christmas comes
  • We give to our relations
  • And perhaps we give a little to the poor
  • If the generosity should seize us
  • But if any one of us should interfere
  • In the business of why they are poor
  • They get the same as the rebel jesus
  • But please forgive me if I seem
  • To take the tone of judgement
  • For Ive no wish to come between
  • This day and your enjoyment
  • In this life of hardship and of earthly toil
  • We have need for anything that frees us
  • So I bid you pleasure
  • And I bid you cheer
  • From a heathen and a pagan
  • On the side of the rebel jesus.
