[ti:The Rebel Jesus (LP版)] [ar:Jackson Browne] [al:The Next Voice You Hear - The Best Of Jackson Browne] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]The Rebel Jesus (反抗的耶稣) (LP版) - Jackson Browne (杰克逊·布朗) [00:12.56]All the streets are filled with laughter and light [00:16.33]And the music of the season [00:19.49] [00:20.48]And the merchants windows are all bright [00:24.83]With the faces of the children [00:28.06] [00:30.93]And the families hurrying to their homes [00:34.98]While the sky darkens and freezes [00:38.22] [00:39.02]Will be gathering around the hearths and tables [00:43.53]Giving thanks for God's graces [00:47.26] [00:49.46]And the birth of the rebel Jesus [00:53.02] [00:55.64]Well they call him by the Prince of Peace [00:59.33] [00:59.86]And they call him by the Savior [01:03.01] [01:03.87]And they pray to him upon the seas [01:07.30] [01:08.12]And in every bold endeavor [01:11.46] [01:12.10]And they fill his churches with their pride and gold [01:16.36]As their faith in him increases [01:19.21] [01:20.44]But they've turned the nature that I worship in [01:24.20] [01:24.85]From a temple to a robber's den [01:29.78] [01:30.74]In the words of the rebel Jesus [01:34.27] [02:18.68]Well we guard our world with locks and guns [02:22.28]And we guard our fine possessions [02:25.81] [02:26.78]And once a year when Christmas comes [02:30.19] [02:30.88]We give to our relations [02:33.78] [02:34.81]And perhaps we give a little to the poor [02:38.38] [02:38.93]If the generosity should seize us [02:42.55] [02:43.08]But if any one of us should interfere [02:46.49] [02:47.16]In the business of why there are poor [02:52.30] [02:53.11]They get the same as the rebel Jesus [02:56.87] [02:59.91]Now pardon me if I have seemed [03:03.86]To take the tone of judgment [03:06.95] [03:08.06]For I've no wish to come between [03:11.21] [03:12.12]This day and your enjoyment [03:15.16] [03:16.03]In a life of hardship and of earthly toil [03:20.20]There's a need for anything that frees us [03:23.65] [03:24.29]So I bid you pleasure [03:26.00] [03:26.51]And I bid you cheer [03:28.47]From a heathen and a pagan [03:32.70] [03:34.68]On the side of the rebel Jesus
