Heaven On Their Minds (From 'Jesus Christ Superstar')
My mind is clearer now At last, all too well I can see where we all soon will be If you strip away The myth from the man You will see where we all soon will be
Jesus You've started to believe The things they say of you You really do believe This talk of God is true And all the good you've done Will soon get swept away You've begun to matter more Than the things you say
Listen, Jesus, I don't like what I see All I ask is that you listen to me And remember I've been your right hand man all along You have set them all on fire They think they've found the new Messiah And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong
I remember when this whole thing began No talk of God then, we called you a man And believe me My admiration for you hasn't died But every word you say today Just gets twisted 'round some other way And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied

Listen, Jesus, do you care for your race? Can't you see we must keep in our place? We are occupied Have you forgotten how far down we are? I am frightened by the crowd For we are getting much too loud And they will crush us if we go too far If they go too far
Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give Please remember that I want us to live But it's sad to see Our chances weakening with every hour All of your followers are blind They've too much heaven on their minds It was beautiful, but now it's sour Yes it's all gone sour Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give Please remember that I want us to live C'mon, c'mon He won't listen to me, oh So, it's all gone sour
