New Messiah Songtext
von David Readman

A black man hippie
Screwed a bass and a loaded gun
A black man hippie
Jammin′ hard when he sings his song, yeah
A black man hippie
Just a big guitar and a world to be won

That'll curse you with his voodoo, yeah

Set the world on fire
He was playin′ guitar when he took it too far
Let him take you higher
Like a loaded gun he was on the run
Set the world on fire
He was playin' guitar when he took it too far
Let him take you higher
Come embrace the new messiah


A black man hippie
On a lonely road that would cost his life
A black man hippie
Could he know his god was as cold as ice?
A black man hippie
He was given a gift but he would pay the price
A black man hippie
Just a big guitar and a world to be won

That'll curse you with his voodoo, yeah

Set the world on fire
He was playin′ guitar when he took it too far
Let him take you higher
Like a loaded gun he was on the run
Set the world on fire
He was playin′ guitar when he took it too far
Let him take you higher
Come embrace the new messiah

Well, it ain't funny
In a crazy world where your life can be taken away
Ooh, woah
Ooh, woah
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, now he′s on the run
Ooh, like a loaded gun
Set the world on fire


Oh, come on
Gotta live your fantasy
Let your feelings be true
Now that rock 'n′ roll have killed the man
We had to break up the band

Oh, set the world on fire
He was playin' guitar when he took it too far
Let him take you higher
Like a loaded gun he was on the run
Set the world on fire
He was playin′ guitar when he took it too far
Let him take you higher
Come embrace the new messiah

(Set the world on fire)
Come embrace the new messiah
(Let him take you higher)

(Set the world on fire)
Receive the messiah
When he played guitar
(Set the world on fire)
When he played guitar
(Set the world on fire)
Yeah
(Let him take you higher)

Set the world on fire
Set the world on fire
Set the world on fire
