Great song that appeared at the end of Michael Moore's 'Captalism: A Love Story'
[Verse 1]
FJesus Christ was a man that travelled through the land
A carpenter true Cand brave
He Fsaid to the rich give your Cgoods to the Fpoor
And they laid Jesus CChrist in the Fgrave
[Verse 2]
FHe went to the sick and he Bbwent to the Fpoor
And he went to the hungry and the Clame
And he Fsaid that the meek would Bbinherit the whole Fworld
And they laid Jesus CChrist in the Fgrave
[Verse 3]
FOne day Jesus stopped at a Bbrich man’s dFoor
What must I do to be Csaved
FTake all you own and Bbgive it to the Fpoor
And they laid Jesus CChrist in the Fgrave
[Verse 4]
FWhen the love of the poor shall Bbone day turn to Fhate
When the patience of the workers give Caway
FWould be better for the rich if they Bbnever been Fborn
So they laid Jesus CChrist in the Fgrave
[Verse 5]
FWhen Jesus came to town all the Bbworking folks Faround
Believed what he did Csay
FBut bankers and preachers Bbnailed him to the Fcross
And they laid Jesus CChrist in the Fgrave
[Verse 6]
FWell the people held their breath when they Bbheard about his Fdeath
And everybody wondered Cwhy
FWas the landlord and soldiers Bblawmen there had Fhired
That nailed Jesus CChrist in the Fsky
[Outro]
FWe would lay Jesus BbChrist in the Fgrave Lord Lord
We would lay Jesus Christ in the Cgrave
And if FJesus preached today like he Bbpreached in FGalilee
We would lay Jesus CChrist in his Fgrave
