Go ahead and talk about him because he makes you doubt
Because he has denied himself the things that you can't live without
Laugh at him behind his back, just like the others do
Remind him of what he used to be when he comes walkin' through
He's the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You've got a heart of stone
Stop your conversation when he passes on the street
Hope he falls down on himself, oh, won't that be sweet?
Because he can't be exploited by superstition anymore
Because he can't be bribed or bought by the things that you adore
He's the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You've got a heart of stone
When the whip that's keeping you in line doesn't make him jump
You say he's hard-of-hearin', say that he's a chump
Say he's out of step with reality as you try to test his nerve
Because he doesn't pay no tribute to the king that you serve
'Cause he's the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You've got a heart of stone
You say that he's a loser, 'cause he got no common sense
Because he don't increase his worth at someone else's expense
Because he's not afraid of trying, you say he's got no style
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's bound to make you smile
He's the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You've got a heart of stone, hey
You can laugh at salvation, you can play Olympic Games
You think that when you rest at last, you'll go back from where you came
But you've picked up quite a story, and you've changed since the womb
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
He's the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You've got a heart of stone
He's the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You've got a heart of stone, hey
