Corpus Christi Lyrics


Billie Joe Armstrong Corpus Christi

[Verse 1]
In the beginning there was a void except for the written word
I was born in such foolish times, my guilt is guaranteed
Now I don't want to burn in Hell, John told me that I would
Unless I went down to the water, my sins purged in his holy blood

[Chorus]
See how they run, sheep to the fold
See how they fall, corpse from the cross

[Verse 2]
Now I've got my bleeding heart, and I wear my crown of thorns
And argue with the old men about the tapestry was torn
I've got to sacrifice my ego, it's such a small price to pay, I'm
Waiting for the resurrection, gonna find out what Christ would say
[Chorus]
See how they run, sheep to the fold
See how they fall, corpse from the cross

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
See how they run, sheep to the fold
See how they fall, corpse from the cross

[Verse 3]
Read another bible story, I've got to find the truth
Sending loads of telegrams to God, prove my faith is absolute
Going down down on my knees and pray, maybe I'll buy a talisman
Something's got to save me on the judgement day

[Chorus]
See how they run, sheep to the fold
See how they fall, corpse from the cross
See how they run, sheep to the fold
See how they fall, corpse from the cross
