about

There is a new kind of entertainer appearing at a football stadium near you. Hold hands and empty your pockets for jeezus!

lyrics

Bought a ticket to a football match
But the teams weren't there
Just lots of women in felt hats
And their well dressed men
Mesmerised by a figure on stage
An American
The bigot claimed to make sense of life
But he lied to them

Hold hands for jesus
But he ain't gonna come
Hold hands for jesus
And stay deaf and dumb
Hold hands for jesus
As you persecute the gay
Hold hands for jesus
While all his rules you break

Two thousand years and we've all been lead
Like a flock of sheep
And when i look at whats been done in gods name
It makes me want to weep
You've inquisitioned, warred an' conquered with pain
Only to claim your meek
Take a long good look at what's been spent
Your profits were just stains on the hands of government

Ya held hands for jesus
As you enslaved the black
Ya held hands for jesus
And stabbed the Aztec in the back
Ya held hands for jesus
Down at Wounded Knee
Ya held hands for jesus
Stained red with herstory

From tribal clans to red man
You labelled all as heathen
Then took their lives
And stole their lands
To rule whats left with dirty hands
You crushed their temples beneath your halls
And chained your critics to the wall
And now we see it's your time to fall

Ya held hands for jesus
To form a chain of pain
Ya held hands for jesus
So ya can't be blamed
Ya held hands for jesus
But ya couldn't see
The evil hand of government
Controlling you on a puppet string of hypocrisy.
