John the Revelator put him in an elevator
G#m Bm C#m
Take him up to the highest high
G#m Bm C#m
Take him up to the top where the mountains stop
G#m Bm C#m
Let him tell his book of lies
G#m Bm C#m
John the Revelator he’s a smooth operator
G#m Bm C#m
It’s time we cut him down to size
G#m Bm C#m
Take him by the hand and put him on the stand
G#m Bm C#m
Let us hear his alibis
G#m Bm C#m
By claiming God as his only right
G#m Bm C#m
He's stealing a god from the Israelites
G#m Bm C#m
Stealing a god from a Muslim, too
G#m Bm C#m
There is only one god through and through
