(traditional, arr. ron wood)
[instrumental]
You know that you can find me
On the way to Jerusalem
But I took a magic carpet ride
To a popular movie show
And that's where I found her
Was on the way to Jerusalem
She was hangin' on silver screen
A techni-color Michelangelo
Well I was rollin'
On the way to Jerusalem
I was headed for the Promised Land
And nothing make me go against the tide
But I took a little turn, yeah
Was on the way to Jerusalem
What's another day more or less
You pay your money
And you take your ride
One more day, gonna stay one more day
Then I got to go
On my way,
Tell them I'm on my way
But I need to know
Does Jerusalem close?
Does Jerusalem close?
When does it close?
Oh, yeah
(You know that you could find me)
Oh, yeah
(On the way to Jerusalem)
Oh, yeah
(You know that you can find me)
Oh yeah
(On the way to Jerusalem)
Oh, yeah
(You know that you can find me)
Oh, yeah
(On the way to Jerusalem)
Oh, yeah
(You know that you can find me)
Oh, yeah
(On the way to Jerusalem)
Oh, yeah
(You know that you can find me)
Oh, yeah
(On the way to Jerusalem)
Oh, yeah
You know that you can find me
Oh, yeah....
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
(Steve Earle)
I woke up this mornin' and none of the news was good
And death machines were rumblin' 'cross the ground where Jesus stood
And the man on my TV told me that it had always been that way
And there was nothin' anyone could do or say
And I almost listened to him
Yeah, I almost lost my mind
Then I regained my senses again
And looked into my heart to find
That I believe that one fine day all the children of Abraham
Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem
Well maybe I'm only dreamin' and maybe I'm just a fool
But I don't remember learnin' how to hate in Sunday school
But somewhere along the way I strayed and I never looked back again
But I still find some comfort now and then
Then the storm comes rumblin' in
And I can't lay me down
And the drums are drummin' again
And I can't stand the sound
But I believe there'll come a day when the lion and the lamb
Will lie down in peace together in Jerusalem
And there'll be no barricades then
There'll be no wire or walls
And we can wash all this blood from our hands
And all this hatred from our souls
And I believe that on that day all the children of Abraham
Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem
(Gold/Lloyd/Echolette)
Waiting on this empty street, watching the river's waves go by
Feeling mellow, lighting a cigarette, silver moon floats through the night
Eris, Princess of the Isles, disperse your sparkling traces
Lead him on to the house of love where the Gods my turn his eyes
To Jerusalem we pray -- It's time to meet you there
Let's take love to Jerusalem -- Oh yeah -- Let's make love
You might be the one I'm waiting for, I think we've met somewhere for sure
Chasing shadows leaves you feelin' blue, this situation needs a cure
New assassins, new messiahs, keepers of the balanced law
Strangest lovers of the fire which ignites the Halo of our souls
To Jerusalem we pray -- It's time to meet you there
Let's take love to Jerusalem -- Oh yeah -- Let's make love
Big yellow cadillac, carry me back home
On glory roads of pure delight we head out for the stars
The highway's screamin', callin' out your name
Cause every road that you travel on
There's a price to pay
A thousands eyes are starin'
But the blind still lead the blind
CHORUS
Where will you turn if it all goes wrong and you're on the run
Jerusalem?
You say you walked through the valley
You say you've seen the signs
Echoes call you from a distant age
Or is it in your mind?
Then a thousands souls rise from the sea
Holding up the sun
And an angel cries beware your lies'
It could be the end of it all
CHORUS
Everybody knows your name, every road leads to anger
Will it always be the same, is there reason to return?
CHORUS
When an angel cries - Jerusalem
Better watch your lies - Jerusalem
Ran down and the lady said it
It got torn down
And the priest just said it
It got burned
They give me five years five years
It's my turn
Ran down and the lady said it
It got torn down
And the priest just said it
It got burned
They give me five years five years
It's my turn
Oh Jerusalem
Oh Jerusalem
Getting tired of you doing this to me
I'm gonna hit you if you say that to me
One more time
I want to see you
And you're saying you're busy
I want to stop it
And you said it would be easy
It sure takes time
Hope your next time
Gonna be the last time
Hope you don't two-time
It'll be the best time
There won't be no next time
It's show time
I hope you do
What you said
When you swore
You'd make it better
Deliver all the letters
On time
Jerusalem

I dressed up in my best
My Ropers and my vest
And waited by the door with these roses
Till you came walkin' in
With your high falutin' friends
So busy lookin' down your noses
Now here you are ignorin' me
Girl I might as well be
Walkin' to Jerusalem
Marchin' with Methuselah
Readin' signs in Arabic
Ravin' like a lunatic
By the time you tell me I'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin' to Jerusalem
You wore your boots last night
You kissed me and held me tight
You said you'd always be my cowgirl
But tonight you're hangin' out
With that Christian Dior crowd
So where does that leave me now girl
You're as cold as Polar regions
I oughta join the French Foreign Legion And Go
Walkin' to Jerusalem
Marchin' with Methuselah
Readin' signs in Arabic
Ravin' like a lunatic
By the time you tell me I'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin' to Jerusalem
I can see me in a long robe
Studyin' the book of Job and
Walkin' to Jerusalem
Marchin' with Methuselah
Readin' signs in Arabic
And ravin' like a lunatic
By the time you tell me I'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin'
By the time you tell me I'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin' to Jerusalem
And walkin' to Jerusalem
The smell of newly-cut corn
came sifting through the palm trees
My eyes they were blinded
by the sun reflecting on the seas
One hundred dozen mermaids smiled
as I passed through the haze
The sound of familiar voices
of yonder days
Jerusalem Jerusalem Jerusalem oh no
Jerusalem was made by a guy
Oh I forget his name
And Jesus was a drop-out
A king who bore no crown
Only his long hair
flowing and blowing in the wind
And Jesus was a fisherman
That's all he had to say
Oh yeah, said "Now follow me disciples.
Lead your lives a different way."
And he rode into Jerusalem
on a donkey both bedraggled and lame
And his Pharisees cursed
his every word but did not laugh
That made a change
And Jesus was a good guy
who lived on figs and wine
A political revolutionary
out to let you have a good time
Jerusalem Jerusalem Jerusalem oh no
The sun it was rising
just to christen his cross of fame
Did he imagine at that moment
two hundred million hypocrites
would praise his name?
And were he now to come down those
hypocrites would crucify him again
And through the sweating crowds
tears streaming down my face
till I'm going insane
I'm crying
Jerusalem Jerusalem Jerusalem oh no
The smell of newly-cut corn
came sifting through the palm trees
My eyes they were blinded
by the sun reflecting on the seas
Well that same sun was rising
just to christen his cross of fame
Did he imagine at that moment
two hundred million hypocrites
would praise his name?
And were he now to come down those
hypocrites would crucify him again
And through the sweating crowds
tears streaming down my face
till I'm going insane
I'm crying
Jerusalem Jerusalem Jerusalem oh no
They're gonna put him inside
And I'm yelling all I can
Can't you see he's the Christ? oh no no
And they don't understand
a single word I say
But I'm crying just the same
Jerusalem Jerusalem Jerusalem oh no
Gonna put him inside
I'm yelling all I can
Can't you see he's the Christ
Cold in the wind, starless the night
Rain pouring down when the last one arrives
So many stories telling of pain
Are told by the freaks they've been throwing away
Ride out, set off to the sea
Odd fellows, you and me
Sail on to a world far away
That might not exist, we must be insane
Torn and feathered
Put in the pillory my friend
Accused as a fool marching on
In quest for a place they don't know
To Jerusalem
The piper inside, can't you feel him calling
You don't be afraid of the horizon
To Jerusalem
Don't you give in to their fingers pointing
So don't be afraid, you won't crash at the horizon
The dwarf and the giant, children who stray
The dreamer who's walking far off their way
A jester cast out, he can't laugh anymore
Here comes the freakshow... Welcome on aboard
Torn and feathered
They'll never get what you say
Kill what they don't understand
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spear, oh, clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire
I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
'Til we have built Jerusalem
Jerusalem, Jerusalem all roads lead to you.

And you will show, show the way, to all who see it shine,

Sir can you tell me how to get to Jerusalem
'Cause I have kinda lost my way
Sir will you help me get there as fast as I can
Tomorrow might be too late
'Cause things ain't what they used to be
My love for life is gone you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see
People always tellin' me how sweet and simple life could be
They say you might as well live before you die
But one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance, to get me out of this hellhole
Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back to Jerusalem, yeah
It took me quite a while to get into Jerusalem
'Cause I had kinda lost my way
I want to save me from myself so here I am
I hope it's not too late
'Cause things ain't what they used to be
My love for life is gone you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see
I am so afraid to love
'Cause of the way I've been hurt before
I think by now it's time for me to leave
But one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance, to get me out of this hellhole
Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back to Jerusalem
Jerusalem, can you help me find what I have lost
Things ain't what they used to be
My love for life is gone you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see
I don't wanna die this way
Wishing that I could turn back time
Wasted time, there is work to be done
But one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance, to get me out of this hellhole
Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back to Jerusalem
Jerusalem, can you help me find what I have lost, yeah yeah

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand

I will not cease from mental fight
nor shall mw sword sleep in my hand
till we have built Jerusalem
We celebrate the wars we won
The blood of history's ancient sons
We followed judah maccabee
We fought against iniquity
We saved ourselves with help from one
Who loves his children, everyone
Everyone, everyone
Everyone, everyone
So now jerusalem, you know that it's not right
After all you've been through, you should know better than
To become the wicked ones almighty god once saved you from
The lessons we should learn from all
The fighting in the days of old
When providence was still divine
The sanctuary purified
Let lightning circle all you hold
And then uproot the olive grove
So now jerusalem, you know that it's not right
After all you've been through, you should know better than
To become the wicked ones almighty god once saved you from
So now jerusalem, you know that it's not right
After all you've been through, you should know better than
To become the wicked ones almighty god once saved you from
[Chorus]
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
fire not gonna come from me tongue.
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do.
In the ancient days, we will return with no delay
Picking up the bounty and the spoils on our way
We've been traveling from state to state
And them don't understand what they say
3,000 years with no place to be
And they want me to give up my milk and honey
Don't you see, it's not about the land or the sea
Not the country but the dwelling of his majesty
[chorus]
Rebuild the temple and the crown of glory
Years gone by, about sixty
Burn in the oven in this century
And the gas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me
I will not lie down, I will not fall asleep
They come overseas, yes they're trying to be free
Erase the demons out of our memory
Change your name and your identity
Afraid of the truth and our dark history
Why is everybody always chasing we
Cut off the roots of your family tree
Don't you know that's not the way to be
[chorus]
Caught up in these ways, and the worlds gone craze
Don't you know it's just a phase
Case of the Simon says
If I forget the truth then my words won't penetrate
Babylon burning in the place, can't see through the haze
Chop down all of them dirty ways,
That's the price that you pay for selling lies to the youth
No way, not ok, oh no way, not ok, hey
Aint no one gonna break my stride
Aint no one gonna hold me down
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
Stay alive
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon england's mountains green?
And was the holy lamb of god
On england's pleasant pastures seen?

And was jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear: o clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariots of fire!
I will not cease from metal fight;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built jerusalem
City of David, kingdom of Israel
King Solomon built the holy temple on mount Muriah
Alexander the Great of Macedonia
Then the emperor of Rome
Crusaders, Arabians
Broke down the people
Their will to survive
It's a part of the real world
What's here to live has to die
A holy city you are
Like a light in the far
Home of the holy men
You are the key of mankind
The rock must roll again
Nothing has changed, this war will go on and on
Victims of wrath in memory forevermore
There by the dome of the rock and the western wall
Father forgive what they've done
Foundations about to fall
What can be sacred?
Is there an end?
This is an ocean of stories
They're just a part of the plan
A holy city you are
Like a light in the far
Home of the holy men
You are the key of mankind
The rock must roll again
What is right, what is wrong?
I just don't know
We should learn how to play
'cause no one is here to stay
Light to the people
They will survive
It's a part of the real world
And the hatred must die
A holy city you are
Like a light in the far
Home of the holy men
A holy city you are
Like a light in the far
Home of the holy men
You are the key of mankind

Wash the scales from my eyes
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let me see again
Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
I shall not sleep o clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire
Let it rain
Let it rain
Tears of blood fall out of the sky
Let it rain
Let it rain
Wash me clean again
From the frozen waters
The king will rise again
With 2 suns in the sky
I shall not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
Let it rain
Let it rain
Tears of blood fall out or the sky
Let it rain
Let it rain
Set me free again
See the gleaming spires of the citadel
The king and Queen will dwell
In our hearts
Can Jerusalem
Be bebuilded here
In this trivial time
In this land of fear
Where the Grail remains
Walk into the light and dissolve the chains
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?

On England's pleasant pastures seen?

Shine forth upon our clouded hills?

The highway's screamin' callin' out your name
Cause every road that you travel on
There's a price to pay
A thousand eyes are starin'
But the blind still lead the blind
CHORUS
Where will you turn if it all goes wrong
And you're on the run
Jerusalem?
You say you walked through the valley
You say you've seen the signs
Echoes call you from a distant age
Or is it in your mind
Then a thousand should rise from the sea
Holding up the sun
And an angel cries 'beware your lies'
It could be the end of it all
CHORUS
Everybody knows your name,
Every road leads to anger
Will it always be the same,
Is there reason to return
CHORUS
When an angel cries - Jerusalem
Better watch your lies - Jerusalem
Jerusalem
(James Raymond)
I came back to Jerusalem
Just to see if the light had changed
But it all seems about the same
My friends are here on a holy mission
A mass convergence of Judeo-Christians
It's nice to put the faces with the names
Don't you know me by my ancient eyes
Sweet salvation what a lonely prize
I came back to Jerusalem
I came back to Jerusalem
And it's all coming down right now
I ran into Magdalena
She said she's staying for the Y2 Cana
But I see the sadness in her eyes
We all lost the one we loved
He's up there livin' high above us
Fire and love gonna rain on down, down, down
Don't you know me by my well worn shoes
I walked this road beside the King of Jews
I came back to Jerusalem
I came back to Jerusalem
And it's all coming down right now
But I've been waiting for two thousand years
That's a lot of blood
And a lot of tears
Call me certified delusional
But I got stoned against this very wall
I came back to Jerusalem
I came back to Jerusalem
And it's all coming down right now
I came back to Jerusalem
I came back to Jerusalem
when we get back to jerusalem
everybody's gonna praise our name
when we get back to jerusalem
ain't nothing gonna be the same
when the system hits jerusalem
all the waters gonna turn to beer
when we get back to jerusalem
you won't never see us hanging round here
jerusalem can't you feel the heat
jerusalem dare you walk the streets
with everybody looking after number one
your face ain't noticed till you're gone
the last time we went to jerusalem
everyone said we sounded fine
the last time we went to jerusalem
everybody had a real good time
the punks ain't punks in jerusalem
they all think they know how to pose
opinions don't matter in jerusalem
When I tell you that I love you don't test my love
Accept my love, don't test my love
'Cause maybe I don't love you all that much
Don't ask what kind of music I'm gonna play tonight
Just stay a while, hear for yourself a while
And if you must put me in a box, make sure it's a big box
With lots of windows and a door to walk through
And a nice high chimney so we can burn, burn, burn
Everything that we don't like
And watch the ashes fly up to Heaven
Maybe all the way to India, I'd like that
All the ancient kings came to my door
They said, "Do you want to be an ancient king too?"
I said, "Oh yes, very much, but I think my timing's wrong"
They said, "Time is relative or did you misread Einstein?"
I said, "Do you really mean it?"
They said, "What do you think we come here for
Our goddamn health or something?"
Everybody's waiting for the Messiah, the Jews are waiting
Christians are waiting, also the Muslims
It's like everybody's waiting, they've been waiting a long time
I know how I hate to wait like even for a bus or something
An important phone call so I can just imagine
How darned impatient everybody must be getting
So I think it's time now, time to reveal myself
I am the Messiah, I am the Messiah
Yes, I think you heard me right, I am the Messiah
I was gonna wait till next year, build up the suspense a little
Make it a really big surprise but I could not resist
It's like when you got a really big secret
You're just bursting to tell someone
It was sort like that with this
And now that I've told you, I feel this great weight lifted
Dr. Nusbaum was right, he's my therapist
He said get it out in the open
I spent ten whole days in Jerusalem, mmm Jerusalem
Sweet Jerusalem and all I ate was olives, nothing but olives
Mountains of olives, it was a good ten days
I like olives, I like you too
So when I tell you that I love you don't test my love
Accept my love, don't test my love
And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the Holy Lamb of God
on England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of Fire!
I will not cease from mental fight;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Til we have built Jerusalem
Mit den Rittern kam ich an
Das Grabdes Erlösers anzuschauen
Hier zu beten und zu bitten
Für mich und die, die mit mir ritten
Mit Schwert und Feuer kamen wir
In Schutt und Asche legten wir
Des Herren auserwählte Stadt
Der Sturm treibt das Schiff durch das Dunkel der Nacht,
An die Mauern von Akkon, voran in die Schlacht!
Unser Stahl erntet Blut aus der Saat der Gewalt -
Bis der Schlachtruf der Heiden für immer verhallt.
Jerusalem - zerbrich die Ketten!
Jerusalem - zerbrich die Ketten!
Der Halbmond bedroht uns mit eiserner Faust!
Das Grab Jesu Christi von Tieren behaust!
Das Gold unsrer Kirchen geraubt und verbrannt -
Der Teufel - er wütet I'm heilige Land!
Das Lamm liegt in Ketten am Grunde der Schlucht,
Die Pilger ermordet auf heilloser Flucht.
Die Tempel der Heiden zerstören die Pracht
Der heiligen Kirche und christlichen Macht.
Ein Engel der stirbt - seine Schwingen haben mein Herz berührt!
Ein Engel der stirbt - seine Tränen haben die Welt verführt!
Gott steh uns bei - es ist heiliger Krieg!
Bestraf unsre Feinde und schenk uns den Sieg!
Die Sichel schlägt Wunden, der Sand färbt sich rot!
Tausend Gebete geboren aus Not!
Jerusalem - zerbrich die Ketten!
Jerusalem - zerbrich die Ketten!
Tief sitzt der Stachel I'm christlichen Fleisch!
Blutende Helden bezahlen den Preis:
Die Engel aus Eisen verrecken I'm Kot!
Ikonen geschmiedet aus Feuer und Tod!
Ein Engel der stirbt - seine Schwingen haben mein Herz berührt!
Here is a song
From the wrong side of town
Where I'm bound
To the ground
By the loneliest sound
That pounds from within
And is pinning me down
Here is a page
From the emptiest stage
A cage or the heaviest cross ever made
A gauge of the deadliest trap ever laid
And I thank you
For bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally I've found
That I belong here
The heat and the sickliest
Sweet smelling sheets
That cling to the backs of my knees
And my feet
I'm drowning in time
To a desperate beat
And I thank you
For bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally I've found
That I belong
Feels like home
I should have known
From my first breath
God send the only true friend
I call mine
Pretend that I'll make amends
the next time
Befriend the glorious end of the line
And I thank you
For bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally I've found
That I belong here
Chorus (after each verse):
Jerusalem, our happy home
When shall we come to thee?
When shall our sorrows have an end?
Thy joys when shall we see?
They see no one that sent her there
Their palms spring from the ground
No tongue can tell, no heart can think
What joys do there abound
Forever more the trees perfumed
And ever more they spring
And ever more the saints are glad
And ever more they sing
Fair Magdalene, she has less moan
Likewise there she does sing
The happy saints in harmony
Through every street doth ring
Fair Magdalene hath dried her tears
She'll sing no more to thee
Nor wet the ringlets of her hair
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spear! Oh, clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire
I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Til we have built Jerusalem

Jerusalem here I am
Day will come, heaven will shine
All the land will burn then
And the holy town of Jerusalem
Will come down from heaven, in God's glory.
All the land will burn
When Jerusalem will come down.
Holy town, Jerusalem
Unearthly, but coming down from heaven
Opens the gates to all
Who take salvation.
God's truth will be made
The sinful world will burn
But for God's sons of truth
Jerusalem will come down.
All the land will burn
When Jerusalem will come down.
Hey, open your eyes
Hey, listen, the land
Hey, holy day
Hey, not so far away.
Hey open your eyes
Hey, save yourself
Hey, anger will come
But the holy town
will be open to every holy person.
A flame of furious fire
Will burn this land
For all the sins
The anger of God will avenge.
The day will come holy and fearful
All the land will then burn
And He who sits on the throne
Will open the gates to Jerusalem.
It's where I'm living In heaven or in hell Jerusalem The place where Angels fell
One Man sailing the World
The truth ascending With chains that bind us here Jerusalem The place where God is near
One man saving the World
Are we forgiving Into the eyes of Ra Jerusalem Where God will never die
So, a city wakes up in the morning
And all the infidels get in their cars
As a father is floating, ????
And driven into your heart
Cause you live in a town that is delicate
Where old grudges run deeper than mud
Where peace is a term that is relative
And written in blood
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Oh, you lie bleeding in the doorways of Eden
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Another city wakes up in the morning
You are the martyr who is taking the stage
You're laying flowers on the eyes of your brother
In his funeral parade
And you are filled with a love for your people
All your life you have drunk bitter milk
You say, "The ones who have wounded my brother
Are the ones I must kill"
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Oh, you lie bleeding in the doorways of Eden
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Now the blood has run down to a stand
For generations, it's marked up the sand
Where the scars are as deep as the rivers
And as old as the land
Your god's armies, they are marching on heaven
In the name of what is holy and sacred
Casting poisonous seeds for their children to reap
Out of the rubbles of hatred
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Oh, you lie bleeding in the doorways of Eden
And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the Holy Lamb of God
on England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of Fire!
I will not cease from mental fight;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Til we have built Jerusalem
Do you see heaven
Like I do
Or is it just me
Wanting you
Tonight I'm special
Like no one else
I hope you need me
For yourself
Does it make you happy
To be so free
The times we shared
You loving me
And as you leave
And walk away
Your eyes they tell me
Someday you'll stay
What's going on here
What must we fear
To live in this fantasyland in your mind
Who'll carry the load
For dreams left untold
Can you live in this world all mine
I would walk this journey
To say goodbye
To have you close would
Make me high
All the good things
That made you see
It was the strong thing
Being with me
[CHORUS]
Just look high above
And you'll see where we should be
And if tomorrow makes
If tomorrow breaks us
Then you stand still and I'll
Show you me
Like you never knew
Or is it just me
Wanting you
So as you leave
And walk away
I knew you'd come back
Now let's play
[CHORUS]
In a compact on the edge of town
Security to keep the outside out
You and your friends discussing how
It seems rebellious to vote Conservative now
Your mind’s so sharp and your eyes so bright
You shine in love, you are born anointed
You mean so well, and you’ll hurt so bad
When you come to be disappointed
And I will never go home again
And we will build Jerusalem
And I don’t know about us but I know about them
And we will build Jerusalem, Jerusalem..
You know exactly how clever sounds
The soft consonants and rounded vowels
You know the land that she labours and
Your hypotheses have been confirmed
We all love The Smiths, and we dig The Clash
But the smell of leather is intoxicating
Brilliant minds, we are genii
We excel at drama and formal debating
And I am never going home again
And we will build Jerusalem
And I don’t know about us but I know about them
And we will build Jerusalem
Jerusalem (x3)
And you can take your burning goal
You can take your swords and spears
You can take your lamb of God
You can take these deadly years
You can win and win and win again
The dice are loaded, you’ll never miss
And I am never going home again
And we will build Jerusalem
And I don’t know about us but I know about them

Where the mothers of sonsnever cease their weeping
where the fathers of faith in the ground lie sleeping
where the seeds of time have a whirlwind reaping
Jerusalem is.
Where the cobblestones
wet with the blood of ages
hear the echo of wheels turning hist'ry's pages -
where the cries of fools stilled the words of sages
Jerusalem is.
'neath an olive tree branch anyone can listen
to the song of songs as the green leaves glisten.
Then a summer rain falls and the raindrops christen
what Jerusalem is.
And the river runs on and the world keeps turning
and the water's cold
tho the sands are burning
and the mountains know while we still are learning
what Jerusalem is.
when will tomorrow's sons
tomorrow's daughters
never taste of the bread cast upon the waters
and put down the sword that performed the slaughters
Where Jerusalem is ?
Where the cobblestones
wet with the blood of ages
hear the echo of wheels turning hist'ry's pages -
where the cries of fools stilled the words of sages
Jerusalem is.
And the river
the river runs and the world keeps turning
and the water's cold
tho the sands are burning
and the mountains know while we still are learning
what Jerusalem is.
And the river
Ich kenne ein Land,
wo alte Männer regiern,
da kann man nicht bleiben,
weil da darf nix passiern.
Da sitzen die Tyrannen,
fett auf dem Thron
und träumen vom Ruhm.
Da brauchen wir nicht traurig zu sein,
da gibts noch was andres,
das ziehen wir uns rein.
Die Welt ist so groß
und diese Dinge sind klein,
hat eh' keine Sinn,
so einsam zu sein.
Wir reiten nach Jerusalem.
Wir reiten nach Jerusalem,
mit dalialailialailailaio.
Keine Zeit! Keine Zeit! Keine Zeit!
Sie lieben die Kanonen
und fliegen öfter zum Mond.
Die Spitzenwichser ohne Schädelkraft,
die machen hier einfach,
was keiner mehr rafft.
Es gibt Tage wo die Sonne marschiert,
wir lieben das Grelle und die Nächte sind wild.
Wir gehen den dummen Dingen dieser Welt aus der Weg,
nur das ist der Weg, der nach Jerusalem geht.
Wir reiten nach Jerusalem,
mit dalialailio,
reiten nach Jerusalem,
mit dalialaililaiaiaio.
Keine Zeit! Keine Zeit! Keine Zeit!
Verkehr am Morgen,
verkehrter Verkehr.
Sie liebt nur deinen Namen,
doch dein Gewehr ist leer.
Sie hält dich so fest,
du denkst dich weit weg
Willst keinen mehr fragen,
hat eh' keinen Zweck.
Keine Zeit! Keine Zeit! Keine Zeit!
Keine Zeit! Keine Zeit! Keine Zeit!

'Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
'Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
Days at ease with no telephone
Uncle Moustache on the coffee machine
I found a way into Jerusalem
I found a way into Jerusalem
Never been religious
Never been that way at all
But man you look beyond the city wall
I found a way into Jerusalem
I found a way into Jerusalem
I walked with Juicy to the Old Bazaar
Through the back streets
To the Mosque of Saint Omar
I found a way into Jerusalem
I found a way into Jerusalem
I found a way into Jerusalem
Heard a lot about the men who died
Now I understand the reason why they cried
I found a way into Jerusalem
I found a way into Jerusalem
I found a way into Jerusalem
Tell us what you want don’t kill in Palestine
What is going wrong? Why don’t you make it right?
We must care for each other, don’t disgrace our father
We keep moving on and we’ll survive
You cast out human being and try to take their place
Where are they going to stay then?
You realized what you’ve done, but there’s still more
time to kill
The victims are increasing
Kindness in your heart it’s been there all the time
But what is going on? Turned out to be that bad
Kill a lots of people there, you should have to share

My wishes and hopes are for you
My eyes will see beautiful gates
And the street of gold
Of the City of Salvation MALAIKA (My Beautiful Angel)
I love you my angel
I want to marry you to be my wife
But I don't have any money to pay for lobola (dowry)
You're the only angel I think of
You bring happiness to my heart

He was a wise and had a thousand wives
He was a righteous and feeling judge
He was the king and the father of the people

Two young women came with a child
Claiming I'm the mother of this child
He said: Bring me a sword,
Divide the baby in two
Oh, in two!
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
The real mother cried: Don't!
The other one said: Divide!
Everybody knew who was really true

How can the people divide a little child?
How can the people divide such a little heart?
