Songtext
0:14I went to see my sister
0:17She was staying with a friend
0:21Who had turned into a preacher
0:24To save the world from sin
0:28He said First deny your body
0:31Then learn to submit
0:35Pray to be made worthy
0:38And tithe your ten percent
0:41I said Is this all there is
0:45Just the letter of the law
0:48Something's wrong
0:56Went to see my brother
0:59On the 32nd floor
1:02Of a building down on Wall Street
1:05You could hear the future's roar
1:09He said Here we make decisions
1:12And we trade commodities
1:15So if you tell me where there's famine
1:19I can make you guarantees
1:23I said Is this all there is
1:26Power to the strong
1:29Something's wrong
1:33Something's wrong in heaven tonight
1:36You can almost hear them cry
1:40Angels to the left and the right
1:43Saying What about the love
1:45What about the love What about the love
1:55I went to see my neighbor
1:58He'd been taken to a home
2:01For the weak and the discarded
2:05Who have no place to go
2:08He said Here I lack for nothing
2:12I am fed and I am clothed
2:15But at times I miss the freedom
2:19I used to know
2:22I said Is this all there is
2:25When your usefulness is gone
2:29Something's wrong
2:32Something's wrong in heaven tonight
2:36You can almost hear them cry
2:40Angels to the left and the right
2:42Saying What about the love
2:45What about the love What about the love
3:13Looked into the mirror
3:16Proud as I could be
3:19And I saw my pointing finger
3:22Pointing back at me
3:26Saying Who named you accuser
3:29Who gave you the scales
3:33I hung my head in sorrow
3:36I could almost feel the nails
3:39I said This is how it is
3:43To be crucified and judged
3:46Without love
3:50Something's wrong in heaven tonight
3:53You can almost hear them cry
3:57Angels to the left and the right
4:00Saying What about the love
4:02What about the love What about the love of God
4:05Something's wrong in heaven tonight
4:08You can almost hear them cry
4:12Angels to the left and the right
4:15Saying What about the love
4:17What about the love What about the love
4:21Something's wrong in heaven tonight
4:24You can almost hear them cry
4:28Angels to the left and the right
4:31Saying What about the love
4:33What about the love What about the love
