[Verse 1]
D
I've seen you in the markets
A
I've seen you in the streets
D G
And at your political conventions
D
Talking of your crusade
A
Talking of your nation
D G
And other things too terrible to mention
G
And you proclaim your Christianity
A
You proclaim your love of God
D G
You talk of apple pie and Mom
A D
I just got one question and I want an answer, tell me
A
Who would Jesus bomb?
Bm D
Maybe Jesus would bomb the Syrians
Em D
'cause they're not Jews like him
Bm D
Maybe Jesus would bomb the Afghans
Em A
On some kind of vengeful whim
G A
Maybe Jesus would drive an M-1 tank
D G
And he would shoot Saddam
G D
Who would Jesus bomb?
[Verse 2]
D
Yes, I've seen you on the TV
A
And on the battleships
D G
I've seen you in a house up on the hill
D A
And I've heard you talking about making the world safer
D G
And about all the men you have to kill
G A
And you speak so glibly about your civilization
D G
And how you have the moral higher ground
G A D
While halfway around the world, your explosives smash the buildings
G
If you could only hear the sound
Bm D
But maybe Jesus would sell land mines
Em D
And turn on his electric chair
Bm D
Maybe Jesus would show no compassion
Em A
For his enemies in the lands way over there
G A D G
Maybe Jesus would have flown the planes that killed the kids in Vietnam
G D
Who would Jesus bomb?
[Verse 3]
D
Yes, I hear you shot with confidence
A
As you praise the Lord
D G
And you talk about this God you know so well
D
You talk of armageddon
A
And your final victory
D G
When all the evil forces go to Hell
G
Well, you best hope you've chosen wisely
A
On the right side of the Lord
D G
And when you die your conscience it is clear
G A
You'd best hope your atom bombs are better than the sword
D G
At the time that your reckoning is here
Bm D
I don't think Jesus would send gunships into Bethlehem
Em D
Or jets to raze the town of Timorese
Bm D
I don't think Jesus would lend money to dictators
Em D
Or drive those SUV's
G A
And I don't think Jesus would ever have dropped
D G
A single ounce of napalm
G D
So tell me, who would Jesus bomb?
D
I've seen you in the markets
A
I've seen you in the streets
