Sweet Jesus Lyrics by Steve Drewett

KuJenga Society

2014

Chorus:
Sweet Jesus, sweet Jesus are you listening to me
Sometimes I wonder, oh I wonder if you're listening to me
I've tried and I've tried to live the good life
I've been kind to my children and faithful to my wife
I worked hard 'til they closed down the mines
Aided and abetted by, some ex-friends of mine
Chorus:
Sweet Jesus, oh, sweet Jesus are you listening to me
Sometimes I wonder, oh yeah, I wonder if you're listening to me
There's work in the south but I can't afford a home
And I can't afford a home If I don't work
But I would never cross a picket line
I would sell my labour but not my peace of mind
Chorus:
Sweet Jesus, oh sweet Jesus are you listening to me
Sometimes I wonder, oh yeah, I wonder if you're listening to me
Where is the promise, where is the promise?
Where is the promise, the promise land?
Where all of our skills are properly used
For the good of the common man
Where is the promise, where is the promise?
Where is the promise, the promise land?
Don't sell yourselves by selling out
Be strong and make a stand
Well the system, it's not working for me
Nor the poor and the sick who it's brought to its knees
The government tore our community apart
Drove the police, like a wedge through its heart
Chorus:
Sweet Jesus, oh, sweet Jesus are you listening to me
Sometimes I wonder, oh yeah, I wonder if you're listening to me
Does true democracy show in the courts
When so few own the papers that mould the nation's thoughts
I was brought up to respect the law
But there ain't no room for scabs in the Kingdom of the Lord
Chorus:
Sweet Jesus, oh, sweet Jesus are you listening to me
Sometimes I wonder, yeah, I wonder if you're listening to me
Where is the promise, where is the promise?
Where is the promise, the promise land?
Where all of our skills are properly used
For the good of the common man
Where is the promise, where is the promise?
Where is the promise, the promise land?
Don't sell yourselves by selling out
Be strong and make a stand
Stand
Stand
Stand
Don't sell yourselves by selling out
Be strong and make a stand
