MY JERUSALEMCheck your history at the door, tip the artisans at the back
You say I'm the city of peace, no reason to attack
My name is Jerusalem and I'm full of myth and gore
Everyone wants my Temple area, What in the Hell for
My Jerusalem
I was a piece of land, a mere grain threshing floor
King David bought me for his God 3000 years ago
The quarry did King Solomon build, the temple of Cain and Abel
Mary-go-round the Crusader Rail and the animal sacrifice table
Ideas grow stale and the holy grail, minds as molds of clay
Pin the tale on Jonah and the whale, be careful what you say
Sentenced to jail, hanged on a nail, for refusing to obey
From the mount ascend to heaven, die or see it our way
Change of hands and wash your hands, 25 times or more
The cards are dealt and those who play, exit my revolving door
Plotters and schemers with slight of hand, want to settle some score
Boardroom, backroom, Cave of Profits, altar the table for war
My Jerusalem, No My Jerusalem
Romans and Greeks, Babylonians, I must have seen them all
Gallery of memories hang crushed in basement halls
Crusade some butt and then my walls, others wail at what is left
Sooner or later I'll feel their blood as one by one they fall
Fight for turf to lay the dead to rest
The Mount of Olives is a shrine to death
Guarrenteee heaven if your able to get a plot
Kill for a rock and a happy spot to rot
JERUSALEM
You have your God so far so good, what do you really need more?
The Spirit is in your heart, not in some piece of stone
Li Li Li Li Lie Lie Lie Lie Lies & Lies & Lies & Lies
Cats and dogs & boys and frogs can learn to get along
Stop your being a hypocrit and as neighbours we all belong
Though shalt not pray to false idols say Mount Sinai stone blocks
Do not kill to mount your temple on my Mount Moriah rock
JERUSALEM
Drawn and quartered the Old City lies in soldier machine gun zone
Sticks and stones & bullets and bones, god names will always hurt me
False kings at the bay, sliding underground up the four rivers of Paradise
The dome must go, the temple must show and phrophesy' gone astray
MY JERUSALEM
I hear you knocking at my door, I didn't invite you in
I know you'll break my garden gate, we know you love to sin
Suggestion for the times, year 2000 take note
Disneyland in Holyland, Jerusalem hope
My Jerusalem, I am made of sand and stone
My Jerusalem, This is where I belong
My Jerusalem, Please leave me alone
My Jerusalem, I am not just your home
My Jerusalem, Can't we get along
My Jerusalem, Go and terrorize Rome
My Jerusalem, Go hire Rambo Stallone
My Jerusalem, Make it a geodesic dome
