paul mcmahon - song for jesse helms كلمات الأغنية

hey jesse helms i wrote you a song
in the garden of eden is where we went wrong
the tree of knowledge of what’s wrong and right
we divided ourselves when we took the first bite

jesus christ said, “judgement is mine”
when we judge one another we usurp the divine
know yourself, to your own self be true
thatπs what artists are trying to do

the search for self is a twisted road
down many blind alleys you might have to go
before you learn to listen to that small voice within
not hearing that voice we all live in sin

let he who is blameless cast the first stone
have you no sins for which you wish to atone?
the arena party or the cigarette folks
some p_n_s_faced camel teaching young kids how to smoke

two lovers kissing who happen to be g_y
is that an uglier picture than healthy lungs turning gray
or a death squad dragging somebodyπs father away
just how do we define obscenity anyway?

yeah robert maplethorpe’s pictures can be hard to take
and and evening with karen finley is no piece of cake
but if you open up your heart i think it just might make
you remember a part of yourself you forsaked
we see very clearly from modern history
authoritarians canπt deal with lifeπs great mystery
whether n_z_ or communist or ayatollah
if youπre looking for the truth theyπre gonna try to control you

but the saddest thing is when god is invoked
to whip up the fears that stifle and choke
free expression, the true love of life
which in this country is an inalienable right

so hey, jesse helms i wrote you a song
what makes you think you know right from wrong
know yourself, to your own self be true
and donπt waste your time telling other people what to do

- paul mcmahon
