Crown Of Thorns Lyrics - Singles - Johnny Hates Jazz

You were yesterday's hero 

An ordinary man of flesh and blood 

Took the world on your shoulders 

A hopeless crusade and act of love 

 

But it's a world obsessed with religion 

And now you wear the face of a god 

Like the words you said, you're as good as dead 

Just a work of art on the wall 

 

And that's why nobody wears 

A crown of thorns 

Nobody cares, nobody wears 

A crown of thorns anymore 

 

Holy men talk of hunger 

While standing beneath a cross of gold 

And there are preachers on the TV 

In their thousand dollar suits, who sell your soul 

 

To think you died for what you believed in 

Only to be exploited and used 

Now you're supermen from the promised land 

Just a vision of Hollywood 

 

And that's why nobody wears 

A crown of thorns 

Nobody cares, nobody wears 

A crown of thorns anymore 

 

You showed me 

That there's hope for humanity 

But once more you're being betrayed 

 

So many countries torn by their idols 

Too many prophets screaming for blood 

And they only hear what they want to hear 

When it comes to God up above
