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

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

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

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

[Verse 5]
F
You can laugh at salvation, you can play Olympic games
F
You think that when you rest at last you’ll go back from where you came
F
But you’ve picked up quite a story and you’ve changed since the womb
F
What happened to the real you, you’ve been captured but by whom?
[Chorus]
