Whose Side Are We On?

Jesus was an immigrant from the Middle East, Who travelled the world spreading sermons o’ peace; Even the magnanimous son of God, Wouldn’t have pardoned today’s transgressions.

Herod Antipas wore soft clothes, And lived in a palace made of gold; All this sound familiar? — We’re living through tyranny from the days of yore.

We’re separating mothers and kids every day, We’re shedding blood and tears of innocent men; How do you wish for history to remember us — As allies of Jesus or Antipas?
