| I went to see my sister.
|
| She was staying with a friend
|
| Who had turned into a preacher
|
| To save the world from sin.
|
| He said, «First deny your body,
|
| And then learn to submit.
|
| Pray to be made worthy,
|
| And tithe your ten percent.»
|
| I said, «Is this all there is,
|
| Just the letter of the law?»
|
| Something’s wrong.
|
| I went to see my brother
|
| On the 32nd floor
|
| Of a building down on Wall Street;
|
| You could hear the future’s roar.
|
| He said, «Here we make decisions,
|
| And we trade commodities;
|
| If you tell me where there’s famine,
|
| I can make you guarantees.»
|
| I said, «Is this all there is,
|
| Power to the strong?»
|
| Something’s wrong.
|
| Something’s wrong in heaven tonight.
|
| You can almost hear them cry.
|
| Angels to the left and the right,
|
| Saying, «What about the love?
|
| What about the love?
|
| What about the love?»
|
| I went to see my neighbor.
|
| He’d been taken to a home
|
| For the weak and the discarded
|
| Who have no place to go.
|
| He said, «Here I lack for nothing;
|
| I am fed and I am clothed.
|
| But at times I miss the freedom
|
| I used to know.»
|
| I said, «Is this all there is,
|
| When your usefulness is gone?»
|
| Something’s wrong.
|
| Something’s wrong in heaven tonight. |
| (Something's wrong.)
|
| You can almost hear them cry. |
| (Cry.)
|
| Angels to the left and the right,
|
| Saying, «What about the love?
|
| What about the love?
|
| What about the love?»
|
| (Yeah, yeah, yeah…)
|
| (Yeah.)
|
| (Yeah.)
|
| I looked into the mirror, (Yeah.)
|
| Proud as I could be, (Yeah.)
|
| And I saw my pointing finger (Yeah.)
|
| Pointing back at me,
|
| Saying, «Who named you accuser? |
| (Yeah.)
|
| Who gave you the scales?"(Yeah.)
|
| I hung my head in sorrow; |
| (Yeah.)
|
| I could almost feel the nails.
|
| I said, «This is how it is To be crucified and judged
|
| Without love.»
|
| Something’s wrong in heaven tonight. |
| (Something's wrong.)
|
| You can almost hear them cry. |
| (Cry.)
|
| Angels to the left and the right,
|
| Saying, «What about the love?
|
| What about the love?
|
| What about the love of God?»
|
| Something’s wrong in heaven tonight. |
| (Something's wrong.)
|
| You can almost hear them cry. |
| (Cry.)
|
| Angels to the left and the right,
|
| Saying, «What about the love?»
|
| What about the love?
|
| What about the love of God?"
|
| Something’s wrong in heaven tonight. |
| (Something's wrong.)
|
| You can almost hear them cry. |
| (Cry.)
|
| Angels to the left and the right,
|
| Saying, «What about the love?
|
| What about the love?
|
| What about the love???» |
