Save Me Jesus - Bobby Charles

They got sisters and brothers

Fighting against one another

They got dreams and schemes and build war machines

To try and outdo each other

We got children that are starving but that don’t bother them

They’re much too busy getting rich to worry about our little children

Save me Jesus

Save me Jesus

Save me Jesus, Jesus save me

From this God forsaken place

They got satellites and spaceships

Flying across the universe

They killed before and they’ll kill again

Just to say they’re first

They build monuments and churches

And things I ain’t seen yet and they’ve signed them all with their autograph

incase you might forget

Save me Jesus…

And lord when it’s all over, they’ll think you should be proud and there’ll be

a few who’ll offer you anything for your job, so when you take me Jesus,

please put me among friends

Don’t put me back with these power crazy money lovers again

Save me Jesus

Save me Jesus

Save me Jesus, Jesus save me

From this God forsaken place
