Key:
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 And other things too terrible to
G mention
G And you proclaim your Christianity
A You proclaim your love of God
D G You talk of apple pie and Mom
A I just got one question and I want
D 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 I've seen you in a house up on the
G hill
D And I've heard you talking about
A making the world safer
D And about all the men you have to
G kill
G A And you speak so glibly about your civilization
D And how you have the moral higher
G ground
G While halfway around the world,
A D 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 For his enemies in the lands way
A over there
G Maybe Jesus would have flown the
A D planes that killed the kids in
G Vietnam
G D Who would Jesus bomb? [Verse 3]
D Yes, I hear you shot with confidence
A As you praise the Lord
D And you talk about this God you
G 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 And when you die your conscience it
G is clear
G You'd best hope your atom bombs are
A better than the sword
D At the time that your reckoning is
G here
Bm I don't think Jesus would send
D 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 And I don't think Jesus would ever
A have dropped
D G A single ounce of napalm
G D So tell me, who would Jesus bomb?
