G#m B C#m John the Revelator put him in an elevator Take him up to the highest high Take him up to the top where the mountains stop Let him tell his book of lies G#m E D# John the Revelator, he's a smooth operator It's time we cut him down to size Take him by the hand and put him on the stand Let us hear his alibis G#m B C# By claiming God as his holy right He's stealing a god from the Israelites Stealing a god from the Muslim, too There is only one god through and through Chorus: G#m E D# Seven lies, multiplied by seven, G#m E D# multiplied by seven again G#m E D# Seven angels with seven trumpets G#m E D# Send them home on the morning train Well, who's that shouting?
