lyrics

Something went down in Jerusalem
We don't know what it was
Something went down in Jerusalem
Was it Jesus or aliens?

Something went down in Jerusalem
A long, long time ago
Something heavy had to happen in Jerusalem
What it was we'll never know

For thousands of years so many millions have been fighting
Over Jerusalem. Everybody's Holy Land
And for thousands of years so many voices crying
My god your god his god their god somebody's god

So many gods in one small town
Is a little bitty bit too much of a coincidence
I'll lay you odds that what went down

Was a stop on a trip of an alien ship
With a guy from the sky doing magic tricks
Like walking on water, turn it into wine
And we thought he was god

Believe what ya like but
Something went down in Jerusalem
We don't know what it was
Something went down in Jerusalem
Was it Allah or aliens?

No photos of what happened in Jerusalem
They had no CNN
But something went down in Jerusalem
Was it Jehovah or aliens?

From lightyears away, they might have come here on vacation
To Jerusalem
They came here to play with no intention
Of creating controversy or sensation

So many gods in one small town
Is a little bitty bit too much of a coincidence
Alien pods were never found

Jehovah, Jah, Allah, Ra, Jesus or whatever
Even if it was aliens, why not get together?
Agree to disagree respectfully about
Jehovah, Jah, Allah, Ra, Jesus or space traveller

Believe it or not, brah
Something went down

They had no CNN
