[Verse 1]
This guy gets up there on the roof last night
He was shouting 'bout Jerusalem
The lights came on all over our street
People came out to stare
[Verse 2]
Searchlights flickered on my bedroom wall
Heard the police cars on my radio
They were voices of reason
Full of reason and persuasion
Said, "Come on down, it's time to go"
[Chorus]
I got to tell you
If I could tell you
If I could only make you see
You'd be out there
No doubt about it
You'd be shouting on the roof with me
You'd be shouting 'bout Jerusalem
[Bridge]
They'll make you take your medication
Keep your passion to yourself
Keep your anger in your fist real tight
Don't give your grief to no one else
To no one else
[Verse 3]
Shouting 'bout Jerusalem
Shouting
[Verse 4]
Don't lay your trouble on your neighbour
Guard your heart like an Englishman
Better take your medication
Welcome to the Prozac nation
We're getting by the best we can
[Chorus]
I got to tell you
If I could tell you
If I could only make you see
You'd be out there
No doubt about it
You'd be shouting on the roof with me
I got to tell you
If I could tell you
If I could only make you see
You'd be out there
No doubt about it
You'd be shouting on the roof with me
You'd be shouting 'bout Jerusalem
[Outro]
