Property of Jesus — текст песни (Bob Dylan)

Go ahead and talk about him because he makes you doubt,

Because he has denied himself the things that you cant 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.



Hes the property of jesus

Resent him to the bone

You got something better

Youve got a heart of stone



Stop your conversation when he passes on the street,

Hope he falls upon himself, oh, wont that be sweet

Because he cant be exploited by superstition anymore

Because he cant be bribed or bought by the things that you adore.



Hes the property of jesus

Resent him to the bone

You got something better

Youve got a heart of stone



When the whip thats keeping you in line doesnt make him jump,

Say hes hard-of-hearin, say that hes a chump.

Say hes out of step with reality as you try to test his nerve

Because he doesnt pay no tribute to the king that you serve.



Hes the property of jesus

Resent him to the bone

You got something better

Youve got a heart of stone



Say that hes a loser cause he got no common sense

Because he dont increase his worth at someone elses expense.

Because hes not afraid of trying, cause he dont look at you and smile,

cause he doesnt tell you jokes or fairy tales, say hes got no style.



Hes the property of jesus

Resent him to the bone

You got something better

Youve got a heart of stone



You can laugh at salvation, you can play olympic games,

You think that when you rest at last youll go back from where you came.

But youve picked up quite a story and youve changed since the womb.

What happened to the real you, youve been captured but by whom?



Hes the property of jesus

Resent him to the bone

You got something better

Youve got a heart of stone
