Jerusalem lyrics
Sinead O'ConnorRan down and the lady said 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
Ran down and the lady said it
Got torn down and the priest just said it
Got burned down
They give me five years - woo
Five years
It's my turn
Oh-oo-oh Jerusalem
Oh-oo-oh 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 say you're busy
Want to stop it and you said it would be easy
Sure takes time - oo
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
Show time
I hope you do what you said when you swore
You'd make it better
Deliver all the letters
On time
Oh-oo-oh Jerusalem
Oh-oo-oh Jerusalem... Ah...
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
woo-woo-woo-woo
woo-woo-woo-woo
woo-woo-woo-woo
Woo-woo-woah-oh...
Oh-oo-oh Jerusalem
Oh-oo-oh Jeru...
Oh-oo-oh Jerusalem
Oh-oo-oh
Oh-oo-oh Jerusalem...
