King James Version Lyrics - Billy Bragg

He was trapped in a haircut 

He no longer believed in 

She said "I'm a teacher here 

I teach the children" 

And he wondered to himself 

There and then all the things he could learn from her 

The great mighty wonder 

Think of the names you once 

Called me in anger 

Remember the sadness In Florence Ballard's eyes 

Imagine all the melancholy you could find 

In the arms of a stranger 

Bred, bread of heaven 

Seems like nothing goes right 

In the world that we were born in 

But the horizon is bright 

Yonder comes the morning 

Upstairs they're buying 

A stairway to heaven 

Down in the garden 

They're changing sticks into snakes 

And the jangle of religious medals would put the fear of God into an angel 

Come, come all ye faithful 

Their baby came home to them 

An unmarried mother 

They wished she would turn to a pillar of salt 

But in the end compassion has to be the greatest family value 

Hope, hope of the helpless 

Looks like a drift to the right 

For the world we were born in 

But the horizon is bright 

Yonder comes the morning
