Mott The Hoople — Hymn for the Dudes

[Verse 1] God ain't jive For I can see his love As it runs alive And one by one Through fields of rusted wire The war has just begun [Pre-Chorus] Ohhhhh Cross over shame like the wise dove Who cares not for fame, just for shy love [Chorus] And rejoice for the king ain't lost his throne, oh no He's still here, you are not alone [Verse 2] Correct your heads For there's a new song rising High above the waves Go write your time Go sing it on the streets Go tell the world, but you go brave [Pre-Chorus] Oh my Sweet instant Christian, you are such a sly clown Too many questions, no replies now [Chorus] And rejoice for the king ain't lost his throne, oh no He's still here, you are not alone [Verse 3] I got an idea Go tell the superstar All his hairs are turning grey Star-spangled fear As all the people disappear The limelight fades away [Bridge] 'Cos if you think you are a star For so long they'll come from near and far But you'll forget just who you are (yes you will) You ain't the Naz You're just a buzz Some kinda temporary [Guitar/piano breakdown] [Verse 4] Cross over shame Like the wise dove Who cares not for fame Just for shy love [Pre-Chorus] Ohhhhh My sweet instant Christian, you are such a sly clown Too many questions, no replies now [Chorus] And rejoice for the king ain't lost his throne. oh no He's still here, and you are not alone You are not alone
