Who Would Jesus Bomb

     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?
