Corpus Christi - Billie Joe Armstrong

in the beginning there was a void

except for the written word

i was born in such foolish times

my guilt is guaranteed

now i don’t want to burn in hell,

john told me that i would

unless i went down to the water

my sins purged in his holy blood

see how they run.

sheep to the fold

see how they fall.

corpse from the cross

now i’ve got my bleeding heart

and i wear my crown of thorns

and argue with the old men

about the tapestry was torn

i 've got to sacrifice my ego

it’s such a small price to pay

i’m waiting for the resurrection.

gonna find out what christ would say

see how they run.

sheep to the fold

see how they fall.

corpse from the cross

see how they run.

sheep to the fold

see how they fall.

corpse from the cross

read another bible story

i’ve got to find the truth

sending loads of telegrams to god

prove my faith is absolute

going down down on my knees and pray

maybe i’ll buy a talisman

somethings got to save me on the judgement day

see how they run.

sheep to the fold

see how they fall.

corpse from the cross

see how they run.

sheep to the fold

see how they fall.

corpse from the cross
