Paul Weller - All Good Books lyrics
[Paul Weller - All Good Books lyrics]
If Jesus could hear us now
Bending all his words of which he's proud
But the carpenter was only
Making invitations
Voicing the opinions of others
Sending down a word that travels well
Only as a vessel as a bell
And the violence you've mistaken
In the words you took to be taken
And the images of hatred
Against all that we're worth
All that you love all that you give
All we hold dear
If Mohammed could see us now
Shaking down the walls but not as prayer
And the power games that play out
And the lies that come within out
Against all we are worth all we hold dear
All that is true all that we love
All we dream of all that you give
Bending all his words of which he's proud
But the carpenter was only
Making invitations
Voicing the opinions of others
Sending down a word that travels well
Only as a vessel as a bell
And the violence you've mistaken
In the words you took to be taken
And the images of hatred
Against all that we're worth
All that you love all that you give
All we hold dear
If Mohammed could see us now
Shaking down the walls but not as prayer
And the power games that play out
And the lies that come within out
Against all we are worth all we hold dear
All that is true all that we love
All we dream of all that you give
