QUALIA - Jim Jones

Brother Jim was born a man of mystery
Mother Lynn claimed Jim would save the world someday
Little Jim saved souls of cats who'd found their end
By holding little funerals honoring what he'd took from them
Moving on from small town Indiana
College then the capital called his name
When his politics made the blacklist
He fled to church to be
For people who need people who might need Jim
Took a page from another age
Called for apostolic integration
In a time when schools never colored outside the lines
People came, some even followed
Hoping to find family beneath his wings of deliverance
But then, dead cats again
Did he would he do before what he did before again
The Rainbow family moved to California
A golden state there would unfold
A parlour trick meant to suck
The needy, open and/or brokenhearted in
Numbers grew as fast as spirits risen
Even politicians loved the people's temple
Jim's god opened what was once kept closed to him
One step closer to the right hand of the father
One more move to prove he'd rule them all
Moved the family down to guyana
Built a paradise in his name
Take it down for translation
Take it down for salvation
Take it down for translation
Take it down for salvation

"No man may take my life from me. i lay my life down"
"Death is not a fearful thing, it is living that is cursed"
