Текст песни Lazarus - James Keelaghan

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 despise now they'll now adore
All this for just one fee
Ah Lazarus come forth

Lazarus the price of this rewrite of your misdeeds
Is that your body dies
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 round you in a martyrs coat
Paint you brighter than you ever were
Ah Lazarus come forth

Lazarus come forth
It'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 more
May our sins be cleansed just as yours were
Ah Lazarus come forth
Lazarus come forth
Lazarus come forth
