Playing The Angel
John the Revelator
Put him in a elevator
Take him up to the highest high
Take him up to the top, where the mountains stop
Let him tell his book of lies


John the Revelator
He's a smooth operator
It's time we cut him down to size
Take him by the hand
Put him on the stand
Let us hear his alibis


By claiming God as his only rock
He's stealing a god from the Israelite
Stealing a god from a Muslim, too
There is only one God through and through


Seven lies, multiplied by seven, multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train


Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
All he ever gives us is pain.
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
He should bow his head in shame.

Well who's that shouting?

He should bow his head in shame
