Lyrics
- Jesus died
For somebody's sins
But not mine.- Gloria: In Excelsis Deo, from Horses (1975)
- Look around you, all around you
Riding on a copper wave
Do you like the world around you?
Are you ready to behave?- Rock N Roll Nigger, from Easter (1978)
- He spared the child and spoiled the rod
I have not sold myself to God!- Babelogue, from Easter (1978)
- People have the power
To redeem the work of fools
Upon the meek the graces shower
It's decreed the people rule.- People Have the Power, from Dream of Life (1988)
- Life is filled with holes
Johnny's laying there in his sperm coffin
The angel looks down at him and says "Oh, pretty boy
Can't you show me nothing but surrender?- Land
those who have sufered understand suffering and there by extend their hand "Patti Smith"
