Intro

 If pain was a color to paint on you

 Your heart would be the color blue.

 Be a gradient from there till your body met your hair

Which would remain a silver hue

You are the one they call Jesus Christ.

 Who didn't know no rock and roll.

 Just a mission and a gun to paint rainbows in Vietnam

 And a heart that always told you

 There's a madness in us all.

 There's a madness in us all.

 So who broke the rules?

Who broke the rules?

Who broke the rules?

 They said every one of you will never try to lend a hand

 When the policemen don't understand.

Boys, all you boys

 Think you're so American.

Girls, all you girls

 Yeah you're so American.

He may not be born of this land

 But he was born of this world.

 He was born of all the mothers and the colors of our brothers

 And the love that was taught to

you by the one they call Jesus Christ.

 He may not know no rock and roll.

 There may not be a heaven, or a place of which to send you,

 But you know in the end

 There's a madness in us all.

 There's a madness in us all.

 There's two eyes for every one of us

 But somebody got there first and took them all.

Man, oh man
