I think this Jesus sounds like a great man,
Heâs humble and grateful and kind as he can.
That hatred and violence births hatred again.
I think this Jesus sounds like a great man.
But what if the raptureâs entirely manmade?
What if itâs coming and no-one gets saved?
At least three of the horsemen already in play.
What if the raptureâs entirely manmade?
[chorus]
Whose flag will unfurl? Whoâll bang the last girl?
Whoâll kick the best ass at the end of the world?
Whoâll watch the last dawn? Whoâll sing the last song?
Whoâll raise the last glass at the end of the world?
What if the trouble came straight to your door?
What if your table knew plenty no more?
With whom would you share and from whom would you hoard?
What if the trouble came straight to your door?
What if this planet is all that we get?
What if we ruin her and nothing comes next?
What would we remember what would we regret?
What if this planet is all that we get?
[chorus]
What would he think about who weâve become?
Our slavery to power and money and guns?
And hatred of strangers passed father to son?
What would he think about who weâve become?
I think if Jesus comes back heâd be shaking his head.
As we searched for the missing and count all our dead.
Heâd say, âDead you arenât dead, didnât you hear what I said?â
I think if Jesus comes back heâd be shaking his head.
[chorus]
