With me, Chicago?
Were you there? They crucified the Lord
Were you there when they crucified the Lord?
Oh, sometimes, it causes me to tremble, I tremble, I tremble
Were you there when they crucified the Lord?
The soap had gone dry and was filled back with water
I turned it to wine, and I drank it up
I became the grass and the hay and the fodder
Then I laid on my side while they ate me for lunch
"I'm so insecure, I'm sorry," I say
I stand up and fall and start to blush
There's someone above me who's going to pay
I'm going to hell, enough is enough
Were you there when they crucified the Lord?
Were you there when they crucified the Lord?
Oh, sometimes, it causes me to tremble
Were you there when they crucified the Lord?
I limp to the road and drop to my knees
They all gather 'round, and they lift me up high
I knock on the gate, and He's looking at me
So, I scream like a motherfucker, "I don't wanna die!"
I'm leaky and stale, and my stomach is thin
I'm the son of a coward who wanted me dead
If anyone here should die for his sins
As God is my witness, it's the fucker who said it
Were you there when they crucified the Lord?
Were you there when they crucified the Lord?
Oh, sometimes, it causes me to tremble, I tremble, I tremble
Were you there when they crucified the Lord, the Lord?

Oh, my God is a righteous God!
Oh, my God is a righteous God!
Oh, my God is a righteous God!
Oh, my God is a righteous God!
