Denomination Blues

When Jesus comes on that dividing day

He's gonna carry in some and take the rest away

And that's alright

On the day that that's all

So you had better hear Jesus

You'd better hear him call

But the follower follows whoever's in front

He's weak and he's hollow and his edge is blunt

And he's small

I bet he feels pretty tall

'Cause when he says the word "Jesus"

What it really means is up against the wall

And the foot soldier's sipping his sugar water

He's got his big idea

But he don't know where he got her at all

And as all of his enemies fall

Look at him thinking 'bout Jesus

Like he can hear him call

(All right)

Well, it's written in Matthew 19:21

Give your possessions to those

Who don't possess none at all

The big'll be made small

How 'bout I tell you some people

Don't see it like that at all

And the masters and the moneyed and the mansion men

We're gonna come for them

We're gonna climb their ledges and walls

We're gonna walk through their halls

Whether they wanna receive us

Whether they want it or not

(Take it down)

So that's broken you and broken me

We're all shot down, dragged around as a clown

Made to crawl

And then nailed to the wall

Just like the story of Jesus

Back in the old Bible

Hey!
