Lyrics for Jerusalem

Ran down and the lady said it It got torn down And the priest just said It got burned down They give me five years, five years It's my turn Ran down and the lady said it It got torn down And the priest just said it It got burned down They give me five years, five years It's my turn Jerusalem Jerusalem Getting tired of you doing this to me I'm gonna hit you if you say that to me One more time I want to see you And you said you're busy I want to stop it And you said it would be easy It sure takes time Hope your next time Gonna be the last time Hope you don't two-time It'll be the best time There won't be no next time Showtime I hope you do what you said When you swore You'd make it better Deliver all the letters On time Jerusalem Jerusalem Jerusalem Jeru- Jerusalem Jerusalem
