Hallelujah

They say there was a secret chord

That David played and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do ya?

Well it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, and the major lift

The baffled king composing 'Hallelujah'

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Now heaven knows we all know the first

But can you recite the second verse?

Oh, you don't quite recall the words now, do ya?

'Cause that's truth about our sins

They lie victim to convenience

Only when you see fit will you sing 'Hallelujah'

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Now you may think it blasphemous

For me to take this song and butcher it

You don't like the taste of your own medicine now, do ya?

'Cause isn't that your holy code?

To take what's theirs and claim it's your own

While the beaten, bruised and alone scream 'Hallelujah'

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Now, you may be tired of this ancient din

But let me sneak another cliché in

You don't really care for Him now, do ya?

Yeah, all you want is an excuse

So you can rationalize the evil things you'll do

So when all is done and through, you can spew 'Hallelujah'

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Oh, no
