Lyrics

Blessed Are the Poor! Words and Music by John W. Nelson, 2008©
G E7/A7 D7/ Who's gonna feed them, when their hungry? Who's gonna take them in, when their homeless? Who's gonna tend them, when their sick? Who's gonna love them? G C9/G D9
Crumbling castles people sleeping in the streets, dirty skies, Out of in the dumpsters they eat. Money for politicians and bombs to spare, cause our babies don't need milk, schools or health care.
The media in power write their version of history, people in pain just write songs like you and me. So forget your dreams you once held dear, just stay fenced in with your hate, greed and fear.
Don't worry about us the giants' aint real. We got corporate Babylon made of glass and steal. You know folks like to live in cardboard boxes. We got congress to protect us like chickens guarded by the foxes.
So get up every morning, smell the sweet smoggy air, and treat your neighbors like Jesus doesn't care. No need to love one another, because it's all about you . . . and it's not about your brother. . .
Solo. . . G/G7/C/Eb/G E7/A7 D7/G C9/G D9
I pledge allegiance to U. S. currency, one nation under manna (Mammon) means less for you, more for me. Blessed are the poor, just keep them away, blessed are the poor just keep them away from . . . Blessed are the poor just keep them far away from me.
Mat 25:40 "The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.' . . .You did it to me, you did it to me, you did it to me. . .
