Lazarus

Lazarus come forth
 No need to be afraid
 Press or pundits, Lords or Kings
 Yes you can be remade
 Many ways to resurrect you
 History is our best sport
 You won't recognize the man you were
 Ah Lazarus come forth
 Lazarus come forth
 We have the PR men
 Brighten up your tarnished image, make you clean again
 You won't recognize yourself
 What they despise now they'll now adore
 All this for just one fee
 Ah Lazarus come forth
 Lazarus the price of this rewrite of your misdeeds
 Is that your body dies
 We just deal with commentaries
 Lazarus come forth
 We deal in contradictions
 Symbols we mistake for real
 Private truth and public fiction
 Ways to weave a storyline round you in a martyrs coat
 Paint you brighter than you ever were
 Ah Lazarus come forth
 Lazarus come forth
 It's part of you we need
 To justify within ourselves the politics of greed
 Knowing that the likes of you could die and still be more
 May our sins be cleansed just as yours were
 Ah Lazarus come forth
 Lazarus come forth
 Lazarus come forth
