๐ Lyrics
In a compound on the edge of town
Security to keep the outside out
You and your friends have been discussing how
It seems rebellious to vote conservative now
And your mind's so sharp
And your eyes so bright
You shine in love, you are born annointed
You mean so well
And you'll hurt so hard
When you come to be disappointed
But I am never going home again
And I will build Jerusalem
Don't know about us, but I know about Them
And we will build Jerusalem
Jerusalem.
You know exactly how clever sounds
The soft consonants and rounded vowels
You know the land that your labour's earned
Your hypotheses have been confirmed
We all love the smiths
And we dig the clash
But the smell of leather is intoxicating
We're all brilliant minds
We're genii
We excel at drama and formal debating
But I am never going home again
And I will build Jerusalem
Don't know about us, but I know about Them
And we will build Jerusalem
Jerusalem.
You can take your burning gold
You can take your swords and spears
You can take your lamb of god
You can take these deadly years
You can win and win
And win again
The dice are loaded you'll never miss
But you can't build
Jerusalem
Cause you don't know what building is.
Security to keep the outside out
You and your friends have been discussing how
It seems rebellious to vote conservative now
And your mind's so sharp
And your eyes so bright
You shine in love, you are born annointed
You mean so well
And you'll hurt so hard
When you come to be disappointed
But I am never going home again
And I will build Jerusalem
Don't know about us, but I know about Them
And we will build Jerusalem
Jerusalem.
You know exactly how clever sounds
The soft consonants and rounded vowels
You know the land that your labour's earned
Your hypotheses have been confirmed
We all love the smiths
And we dig the clash
But the smell of leather is intoxicating
We're all brilliant minds
We're genii
We excel at drama and formal debating
But I am never going home again
And I will build Jerusalem
Don't know about us, but I know about Them
And we will build Jerusalem
Jerusalem.
You can take your burning gold
You can take your swords and spears
You can take your lamb of god
You can take these deadly years
You can win and win
And win again
The dice are loaded you'll never miss
But you can't build
Jerusalem
Cause you don't know what building is.
