Jah Is Not Dead
(Jagger/Richards)
The trouble with Christianity is
Christians
It's a problem with all religions
Religiousness, righteousness,
hypocrisy,
Hand in hand you see them
all fall down in front of you
2000 years, I just about fucking had enough of it
The only problem Jah is not dead, Jah is not dead,
Jah is not dead, Jah is not dead
(If you want to do coke Dewy, do it in the other room)
Jah is not dead
Jah is not so wonderful, not as wonderful as god said
Jah is not so beautiful as youth
Jah is a beauty, it's obvious
Jah is not dead, Jah is not dead, Jah is not dead
Oh no, he not dead
(ad libbing)
It gets kinda futile after a while
Well if you're
old you're wise
We're all gonna die, and once we conveyance... Hey!
Jah is not dead, Jah is not dead, Jah is not wonderful
(ad libbing for about 6 minutes, till the song's ending)
