| 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 upon 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 |
| 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 |
| |
| He's the property of Jesus |
| Resent him to the bone |
| You got something better |
| You've got a heart of stone |
| |
| 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, 'cause he don't look at you and smile |
| 'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style |
| |
| He's the property of Jesus |
| Resent him to the bone |
| You got something better |
| You've got a heart of stone |
| |
| 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 |
