Lyrics
Lazarus come forth
No need to be afraid
Press or pundits, lords or kings
Yes, you can be remade
Many ways to resurrect you
History is our best sport
You won't recognize the man you were
Ah, Lazarus come forth
Lazarus come forth
We have the PR men
Brighten up your tarnished image
Make you clean again
You won't recognize yourself
What they despised, now they'll adore
All of this for just one fee
Ah, Lazarus come forth
Lazarus, the price
For this rewrite of your misdeeds
Is that your body dies
And we just deal with commentaries
Lazarus come forth
We deal in contradictions
Symbols we mistake for real
Private truth and public fiction
Ways to weave a storyline
Wrap you in a martyr's coat
Paint you brighter than you ever were
Ah, Lazarus come forth
Lazarus come forth
There's part of you we need
To justify within ourselves
The politics of greed
Knowing that the likes of you
Could die and still be born
May our sins be cleansed just as yours were
Ah, Lazarus come forth
Lazarus come forth
Lazarus come forth
