I was born and raised an orphan In a land that once was free In a land that poured its love out on the moon And I grew up in the shadows Of your silos filled with grain But you never helped to fill my empty spoon And when I was ten you murdered law With courtroom politics And you learned to make a lie sound just like truth But I know you better now And I don't fall for all your tricks And you've lost the one advantage of my youth You kill a black man at midnight Just for talking to your daughter Then you make his wife your mistress And you leave her without water And the sheet you wear upon your face Is the sheet your children sleep on And at every meal you say a prayer You don't believe but still you keep on And your money says in God we trust But it's against the law to pray in school You say we beat the Russians to the moon And I say you starved your children to do it You are far across the ocean In a war that's not your own And while you're winning theirs You're gonna lose the one at home Do you really think the only way To bring about the peace Is to sacrifice your children And kill all your enemies The politicians all make speeches While the news men all take notes And they exaggerate the issues As they shove it down our throats Is it really up to them Whether this country sinks or floats Well I wonder who would lead us If none of us would vote ​Hmm Well my phone is tapped and my lips are chapped From whispering through the fence You know every move I make Or is that just coincidence Will you try to make my way of life A little less like jail If I promise to make tapes and slides And send them through the mail And your money says in God we trust But it's against the law to pray in school You say we beat the Russians to the moon And I say you starved your children to do it You say all men are equal, all men are brothers Then why are the rich more equal than others Don't ask me for the answers, I've only got one That a man leaves his darkness when he follows the son

​Pardon me Kissing you like I'm afraid But I know I'm being played with And you'll leave me when you get the chance Off you'll go In the darkness of the night Like a bird in freedom's flight You're thinking only of deliverance Close your eyes And pretend that you are me See how empty it can be Making love if love's not really there Watch me go Watch me walk away alone As your clothing comes undone And you pull the ribbons from your hair Pardon me

​A one two a one two three I want the people to know That he saved my soul But I still like to listen to the radio They say rock and roll is wrong We'll give you one more chance I say I feel so good I gotta get up and dance I know what's right, I know what's wrong I don't confuse it All I'm really trying to say is Why should the devil have all the good music An’ I feel good every day Because Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away They say to cut my hair They're driving me insane I grew it out long to make room for my brain But sometimes people don't understand What's a good boy doing in a rock and roll band There's nothing wrong with playing blues licks Well if you've got a reason, tell me to my face Why should the devil have all the good music There's nothing wrong with what I play, aaaah Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away ​Allright I ain't knocking the hymns Just give me a song that has a beat I ain't knocking the hymns Just give me a song that moves my feet I don't like none of those funeral marches I ain't dead yet Wow Jesus told the truth An’ Jesus showed the way There's one more thing I'd like to say They nailed him to the cross And they laid him in the ground But they shoulda known you can't keep a good man down I feel good every day I don't wanna lose it All I wanna, all I wanna know is Why should the devil have all the good music I been filled, I feel okay Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues Ah Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues Ah Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away, yeah​
