Confiram abaixo a letra de Heaven On Their Minds:

My mind is clearer now.
At last all too well
I can see where we all soon will be.
If you strip away The myth from the man,
You will see where we all soon will be. Jesus!
You’ve started to believe
The things they say of you.
You really do believe
This talk of God is true.
And all the good you’ve done
Will soon get swept away.
You’ve begun to matter more
Than the things you say.
Listen Jesus I don’t like what I see.
All I ask is that you listen to me.
And remember, I’ve been your right hand man all along.
You have set them all on fire.
They think they’ve found the new Messiah.
And they’ll hurt you when they find they’re wrong.
I remember when this whole thing began.
No talk of God then, we called you a man.
And believe me, my admiration for you hasn’t died.
But every word you say today
Gets twisted ‘round some other way.
And they’ll hurt you if they think you’ve lied.
Nazareth, your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
Like his father carving wood He’d have made good.
Tables, chairs, and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best.
He’d have caused nobody harm; no one alarm.
Listen, Jesus, do you care for your race?
Don’t you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied; have you forgotten how put down we are?
I am frightened by the crowd.
For we are getting much too loud.
And they’ll crush us if we go too far.
If they go too far….
Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give.
Please remember that I want us to live.
But it’s sad to see our chances weakening with every hour.
All your followers are blind.
Too much heaven on their minds.
It was beautiful, but now it’s sour.
Yes it’s all gone sour.
Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give.
Please remember that I want us to live.
see’mon, see’mon
He won’t listen to me …
see’mon, see’mon
He won’t listen to me …

What’s the buzz?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
Why should you want to know?
Don’t you mind about the future?
Don’t you try to think ahead?
Save tomorrow for tomorrow
Think about today instead
I could give you facts and figures
Even give you plans and forecasts
Even tell you where I’m going
When do we ride into Jerusalem?
When do we ride into Jerusalem?
When do we ride into Jerusalem?
When do we ride into Jerusalem?
When do we ride into Jerusalem?
Why should you want to know?
Why are you obsessed with fighting
Times and fates you can’t defy?
If you knew the path we’re riding
You’d understand it less than I
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
Let me try to cool down your face a bit
Let me try to cool down your face a bit
Let me try to cool down your face a bit
Let me try to cool down your face a bit
Let me try to cool down your face a bit
Let me try to cool down your face a bit
Mary that is good
While you prattle through your supper
Where and when and who and how
She alone has tried to give me
What I need right here and now
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?
What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening?

Confiram abaixo a letra de Strange Thing Mystifying:

It seems to me a strange thing, mystifying
That a man like you can waste his time on women of her kind.
Yes, I can understand that she amuses,
But to let her kiss you, stroke your hair, is hardly in your line.
It’s not that I object to her profession,
But she doesn’t fit in well with what you teach and say.
It doesn’t help us if you’re inconsistent.
They only need a small excuse to put us all away.
Who are you to criticise her?
Who are you to despise her?
Leave her, leave her, let her be now.
Leave her, leave her, she’s with me now.
If your slate is clean, then you can throw stones.
If your slate is not, then leave her alone.
I’m amazed that men like you can be so shallow, thick and slow
There is not a man among you who know or cares if I come or go.
No, you’re wrong! You’re very wrong!
No, you’re wrong! You’re very wrong!
No, you’re wrong! You’re very wrong!
No, you’re wrong! You’re very wrong!
How can you say that?
How can you say that?
How can you say that?
How can you say that?
Not one, not one of you!

Confiram abaixo a letra de Everything’s Alright:

Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh
Don’t you know
Everything’s alright, yes, everything’s fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try, we’ll get by, so forget all about us tonight
Everything’s alright, yes
Everything’s alright, yes
Sleep and I shall soothe you
Calm you, and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead, oh
Then you’ll feel
Everything’s alright, yes, everything’s fine
And it’s cool and the ointment’s sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes
And relax, think of nothing tonight
Everything’s alright, yes
Everything’s alright, yes
Woman, your fine ointment, brand new and expensive
Should have been saved for the poor
Why has it been wasted? We could have raised maybe
Three hundred silver pieces or more
People who are hungry, people who are starving
Matter more than your feet and hair!
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh
Don’t you know
Everything’s alright, yes, everything’s fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try, we’ll get by, so forget all about us tonight
Everything’s alright, yes
Everything’s alright, yes
Surely you’re not saying we have the resources
To save the poor from their lot?
There will be poor always, pathetically struggling
Look at the good things you’ve got
Think while you still have me!
Move while you still see me!
You’ll be lost, and you’ll be sorry when I’m gone
Sleep and I shall soothe you
Calm you, and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead, oh
Then you’ll feel
Everything’s alright, yes, everything’s fine
And it’s cool and the ointment’s sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes
And relax, think of nothing tonight
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax (everything’s alright, yes)
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax (everything’s alright, yes)

Confiram abaixo a letra de Simon Zealotes:

Christ, You know I love You
Did You see I waved?
I believe in You and God
So tell me that I’m saved
Christ, You know I love You
Did You see I waved?
I believe in You and God
So tell me that I’m saved
Jesus, I am with You
Touch me, touch me, Jesus
Jesus, I am on Your side
Kiss me, kiss me, Jesus
Christ, what more do You need to convince You
That You’ve made it and You’re easily as strong
As the filth from Rome who raped our country
And who’ve terrorized our people for so long?
Christ, You know I love You
Did You see I waved?
I believe in You and God
So tell me that I’m saved
Christ, You know I love You
Did You see I waved?
I believe in You and God
So tell me that I’m saved
Jesus, I am with You
Touch me, touch me, Jesus
Jesus, I am on Your side
Kiss me, kiss me, Jesus
There must be over fifty thousand
Screaming love and more for You
Everyone of fifty thousand
Would do whatever You ask him to
Keep them yelling their devotion
But add a touch of hate at Rome
You will rise to a greater power
We will win ourselves, come home
You’ll get the power and the glory
For ever and ever and ever
You got the power and the glory
For ever and ever and ever
You’ll get the power and the glory
For ever and ever and ever
For ever and ever and ever
For ever and ever and ever
You’ll get the power and the glory
For ever and ever and ever
Neither you, Simon, nor the fifty thousand
Nor the Romans, nor the Jews
Nor Judas, nor the twelve
Nor the priests, nor the scribes
Nor doomed Jerusalem itself
Understand what power is
Understand what glory is
Understand at all
Understand at all
If you knew all that I knew
My poor Jerusalem
You’d see the truth
But you close your eyes
But you close your eyes
While you live
Your troubles are many
Poor Jerusalem
To conquer death
You only have to die
You only have to die

Confiram abaixo a letra de Gethsemane:

I only want to say
If there is a way
Take this cup away from me
For I don’t want to taste its poison
Feel it burn me
I have changed
I’m not as sure, as when we started
Then, I was inspired
Now, I’m sad and tired
Listen, surely I’ve exceeded expectations
Tried for three years, seems like thirty
Could you ask as much from any other man?
But if I die
See the saga through and do the things you ask of me,
Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree
I’d want to know, I’d want to know, my God
I’d want to know, I’d want to know, my God
Want to see, I’d want to see, my God
Want to see, I’d want to see, my God
Why I should die
Would I be more noticed than I ever was before?
Would the things I’ve said and done matter any more?
I’d have to know, I’d have to know, my Lord
Have to know, I’d have to know, my Lord
Have to see, I’d have to see, my Lord
Have to see, I’d have to see, my Lord
If I die what will be my reward?
If I die what will be my reward?
Have to know, I’d have to know, my Lord
I’d have to know, I’d have to know, my Lord
Why should I die? Oh why should I die?
Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain?
Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain
Show me there’s a reason for your wanting me to die
You’re far to keen and where and how, but not so hot on why
Alright, I’ll die!
Just watch me die!
See how I die!
Then I was inspired
Now, I’m sad and tired
After all, I’ve tried for three years, seems like ninety
Why then am I scared to finish what I started
What you started, I didn’t start it
God, thy will is hard
But you hold every card
I will drink your cup of poison
Nail me to your cross and break me
Bleed me, beat me
Kill me
Take me, now!
Before I change my mind

Confiram abaixo a letra de King Herod’s Song:

Jesus, I am overjoyed
To meet You face to face
You’ve been getting quite a name
All around the place
Healing cripples
Raising from the dead
And now I understand You’re God
At least that’s what You’ve said
So You are the Christ
You’re the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that You’re divine
Change my water into wine
That’s all You need do
And I’ll know it’s all true
C’mon King of the Jews
Jesus, You just won’t believe
The hit You’ve made around here
You are all we talk about
The wonder of the year
Oh, what a pity
If it’s all a lie
Still I’m sure that You can rock
The cynics if You try
So if You are the Christ
You’re the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that You’re no fool
Walk across my swimming pool
If You do that for me
Then I’ll let You go free
C’mon, King of the Jews
I only ask things I’d ask any superstar
What is it that You have got
That puts You where You are?
I am waiting, yes, I’m a captive fan
I’m dying to be shown
That You are not just any man
So if You are the Christ
Yes, the great Jesus Christ
Feed my household with this bread
You can do it on Your head
Or has something gone wrong?
Why do You take so long?
Come on, King of the Jews
Hey, aren’t You scared of me, Christ?
Mr. Wonderful Christ
You’re a joke, You’re not the Lord
You are nothing but a fraud
Take Him away
He’s got nothing to say
Get out, You King of the, get out
Get out, You King of the Jews
Get out, You King of the Jews
Get out of my life
