From Live At Flevo With Q-stone, but with the ending slightly edited

lyrics

I see the American flag. I see the Dutch flag. I see U2's flag. And people always say why doesn't a christian brother and his band cross over and talk about Jesus? And I see U2's flag, and I say it's been done. Bob Dylan did it. We didn't like it, we told him to stop, we didn't believe him. U2's done it. Some of us say well they're not doing it enough. Hey look, they're them, you're you, I'm me. If you don't think they're doing it right then let's go fill in for them. Let's not leave it up to Billy Graham to come out here. Let's not leave it up to U2 to come out here. Let's not leave it up to Bob Dylan to raise up.... Let's go ourselves. Go into the world and preach the gospel. Jesus said I need twelve good men. [Music starts] That's all you need. [Spoken]

Just a little handful of true believers, spirit receiver [Half sung]

I need twelve good men
I can only find eleven
And there are six young lions
I'm still waiting for number seven
I may be living here down on earth
But I am living for heaven

I got a woman I'm in love with
There's no need to say her name, yeah yeah yeah
And no matter what happens baby
I'm gonna lo-ove you just the same
You know love is like seeing an angel from heaven
Love is so hard to explain

Take it Charley, take it Hessi [Referring to Heikki Silvennoinen]

Yeah yeah yeah

I've got this black leather jacket
The one I've had through all my youth
I've got these dark sunglasses
I feel just like William Booth, yeah yeah yeah
A-don't ask me nothing 'bout nothing
I just might tell you the truth

Oh-ah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-wo-oh-oh
