[Verse 1]
C7Every time I look at you I Ebdon't understand,
F7Why you let the things you did get C7so out of hand.
You'd have managed better if you'd Ebhad it planned.
F7Why'd you choose such a backward time and C7such a strange land?
If you'd come today you could have Ebreached a whole nation.
F7Israel in 4 BC had no C7mass communication.

C7Tell me what you think about your Ebfriends at the top.
F7Who’d you think, besides yourself’s, the C7pick of the crop?
Buddah, was he where it's at, is Ebhe where you are?
F7Could Muhammad move a mountain, or C7was that just PR?
Did you mean to die like that, was Ebthat a mistake, or..
F7Did you know your messy death, would C7be a record breaker?
