Matthew, Mark, Luke & John (Live On 'The Old Grey Whistle Test', 1973)

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
Come down and show us what's wrong
When every word's been sung or spoken
And bygone battles have been lost or won
When all is mended that once was broken
Who called will surely run

When all the power of creeds
And all the power of deeds
Are centered on each other's needs
And when man and man are harmonies
The world will have begun

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
Are you really real, do you love everyone?
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John

Come down and show us what's wrong
If the sins of the father are also the son's
What chance do we have in this game?
Everything's blacker, we argue with guns
With money we burn and we maim

And is it all for a reason, this game without end?
To be rich do you have to have coal?
And is feasting to famine like sitting to standing?
Or is there a hole in God's wall?

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
Are you really real, do you love everyone?
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
Come down and show us what's wrong

Matthew, Mark, Luke and Paul
Are your fingers in your ears, can you hear us at all?

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
Come down and show us what's wrong
