Shouting About Jerusalem Songtext

von Oysterband

This guy gets up there on the roof last night
He was shouting 'bout Jerusalem
The lights come on all over our street
People come out to stare

Searchlights flickered on my bedroom wall
I heard the police cars on my radio
Voices of reason
Full of reason and persuasion
Saying come on down it's time to go

I got to tell you
If I could tell you
If I could only make you see
You'd be out there
No doubt about it
You'd be shouting on the roof with me
You'd be shouting 'bout Jerusalem

They'll make you take your medication
Keep your passion to yourself
Keep your anger in your fist real tight
Don't give your grief to no one else
To no one else

Don't lay your trouble on your neighbour
Guard your heart like an Englishman
Better take your medication
Welcome to the Prozac nation
We're getting by the best we can

I got to tell you
If I could tell you
If I could only make you see
You'd be out there
No doubt about it
You'd be shouting on the roof with me
You'd be shouting 'bout Jerusalem
