[Verse 1]
G
Go ahead and talk about him because he makes you doubt
G
Because he has denied himself the things that you can’t live without
G
Laugh at him behind his back just like the others do
G
Remind him of what he used to be when he comes walkin’ through
[Chorus]
Em D C
He’s the property of Jesus
Em D C
Resent him to the bone
Em D C
You got something better

[Verse 2]
G
Stop your conversation when he passes on the street
G
Hope he falls upon himself, oh, won’t that be sweet
G
Because he can’t be exploited by superstition anymore
G
Because he can’t be bribed or bought by the things that you adore
[Chorus]
Em D C
He’s the property of Jesus

Resent him to the bone

[Verse 3]
G
When the whip that’s keeping you in line doesn’t make him jump
G
Say he’s hard-of-hearin’, say that he’s a chump
G
Say he’s out of step with reality as you try to test his nerve
G
Because he doesn’t pay no tribute to the king that you serve
[Chorus]
Em D C
He’s the property of Jesus
Em D C
Resent him to the bone

[Verse 4]
G
Say that he’s a loser ’cause he got no common sense
G
Because he don’t increase his worth at someone else’s expense
G
Because he’s not afraid of trying, say he’s got no style
G
’Cause he doesn’t tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he’s failed to make you smile
[Chorus]
Em D C
He’s the property of Jesus
Em D C
Resent him to the bone

[Verse 5]
G
You can laugh at salvation, you can play Olympic games
G
You think that when you rest at last you’ll go back from where you came
G
But you’ve picked up quite a story and you’ve changed since the womb
G
What happened to the real you, you’ve been captured but by whom?
[Chorus]
Em D C
He’s the property of Jesus
Em D C
Resent him to the bone
