[Verse 1]
I've Dseen you in the markets
I've Aseen you in the streets
And Dat your political conGventions
DTalking of your crusade
ATalking of your nation
And Dother things too terrible to Gmention
And you proGclaim your Christianity
You proAclaim your love of God
You Dtalk of apple pie and GMom
I just got one question Aand I want an answer, tell meD  
Who would Jesus Abomb?
Maybe BmJesus would bomb the DSyrians
'cause Emthey're not Jews like Dhim
Maybe BmJesus would bomb the DAfghans
On some Emkind of vengeful Awhim
Maybe GJesus would drive an AM-1 tank
And Dhe would shoot SadGdam
GWho would Jesus Dbomb?
[Verse 2]
Yes, I've Dseen you on the TV
And Aon the battleships
I've Dseen you in a house up on the hillG  
DAnd I've heard you talking about Amaking the world safer
And Dabout all the men you have to killG  
GAnd you speak so glibly aAbout your civilization
And Dhow you have the moral higher Gground
While halGfway around the world, your exAplosives smash the buildingsD  
If you could only hear the Gsound
But maybe BmJesus would sell laDnd mines
And turn Emon his electric Dchair
Maybe BmJesus would show no comDpassion
For his Emenemies in the lands way over Athere
Maybe GJesus would have flown the Aplanes that Dkilled the kids in VietGnam
GWho would Jesus Dbomb?
[Verse 3]
Yes, I Dhear you shot with confidence
AAs you praise the Lord
And you Dtalk about this God you know so Gwell
You Dtalk of armageddon
And your Afinal victory
When all the Devil forces go to HellG  
Well, you best Ghope you've chosen wisely
On the Aright side of the Lord
And when you Ddie your conscience it is Gclear
You'd best hGope your atom bombs are Abetter than the sword
At the Dtime that your reckoning is Ghere
I don't think BmJesus would send Dgunships into Bethlehem
Or Emjets to raze the town of TimorDese
I don't think BmJesus would lend moDney to dictators
Or Emdrive those SUDV's
And I don't think GJesus would ever have Adropped
A single Dounce of naGpalm
So tell me, Gwho would Jesus Dbomb?

[Verse 1]

I've seen you in the markets

I've seen you in the streets

D G

And at your political conventions

Talking of your crusade

Talking of your nation

D G

And other things too terrible to mention

And you proclaim your Christianity

You proclaim your love of God

D G

You talk of apple pie and Mom

A D

I just got one question and I want an answer, tell me

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]

Yes, I've seen you on the TV

And on the battleships

D G

I've seen you in a house up on the hill

D A

And I've heard you talking about making the world safer

D G

And about all the men you have to kill

G A

And you speak so glibly about your civilization

D G

And how you have the moral higher ground

G A D

While halfway around the world, your explosives smash the buildings

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 A

For his enemies in the lands way over there

G A D G

Maybe Jesus would have flown the planes that killed the kids in Vietnam

G D

Who would Jesus bomb?

[Verse 3]

Yes, I hear you shot with confidence

As you praise the Lord

D G

And you talk about this God you know so well

You talk of armageddon

And your final victory

D G

When all the evil forces go to Hell

Well, you best hope you've chosen wisely

On the right side of the Lord

D G

And when you die your conscience it is clear

G A

You'd best hope your atom bombs are better than the sword

D G

At the time that your reckoning is here

Bm D

I don't think Jesus would send 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 A

And I don't think Jesus would ever have dropped

D G

A single ounce of napalm

G D

So tell me, who would Jesus bomb?
