Hymn For The Dudes Lyrics - Live 2013 - Mott The Hoople

God ain't jive for I can see his love 

As it runs alive 

One by one through fields of rusted wire 

The war has just begun 

Oh, cross over shame like the wise dove 

Who cares not for fame just for shy love 

An' rejoice for the king ain't lost his throne, oh no 

He's still here, you are not alone 

Correct your heads for there's a new song rising 

High above the waves 

Go write your time, go sing it on the streets 

Go tell the world but you go brave 

Oh my sweet instant Christian, you're such a sly clown 

Too many questions, no replies now 

An' rejoice for the king ain't lost his throne, oh no 

He's still here, you are not alone 

I got an idea, go tell the superstar 

All his hairs are turning grey 

Star-spangled fear as all the people disappear 

The limelight fades away 

'Cause if you think you are a star 

For so long they'll come from near and far 

But you'll forget just who you are, yes you will 

You ain't the Nazz, you're just a buzz 

Some kinda temporary 

Cross over shame like the wise dove 

Who cares not for fame just for shy love 

Oh, my sweet instant Christian you're such a sly clown 

Too many questions, no replies, now 

An' rejoice for the king ain't lost his throne, oh no 

He's still here, you are not alone, you are not alone
