Peter Case - The Words In Red lyrics

Case He heft a leather bound Bible up with two hands Then he slammed it down over my head Now he can tell you about the sins of man But he must of skipped over the words in red Love your brothers and your sisters, take care of each other Love your enemies as well as your friends Tend the poor and the sick and the ones in jail Give away your wealth, say the words in red Blessed are the meek, they'll inherit the earth Blessed are the wine and bread Blessed are those that hunger and thirst Blessed are the words in red Words in red, words in red These are the words that Jesus said The words that Jesus told Worth the wait in the world of gold Now, he's a sinner-huntin' preacher in the red light zone At least that's what the papers said The finger pointing fools are the first to go And turn their back on the words in red You can call it myth or a church man's dream You can damn it all from A to zed You can bury it deep, you can sell it out cheap But you can never lose the words in red Words in red, words in red These are the words that Jesus said The words that Jesus told Worth the weight of the world of gold
