It was the second day of spring and sunbeams made love to windows in all the houses 
           D             Em                    Bm                      G          D 
And I was Jesus and I decided to come down to earth in the shape of a woman this time 
           D                 Em                           G                            D       
And I was Jesus, and I went into the sea, and I took two fishes, and I turned them to millions 
A                  D                           Em                                     G 
...And I took five loaves of bread, and fed a country with them, and I said: "Do you believe me now?" 
               D                         A              
"Sorry", they said, "We focused on your wet white clothes as you bent over to pick up the fishes!" 
           D             Em              Bm          G            D 
And I was bitter for a while, but then decided to go at it again

And I was Ghandi and I went back to earth in the shape of a woman this time 
D  A               D                    Em                                   G            D  
.....And the river Ganges it cleared my vision and I, well, I guess I was a woman again 
D  A         G                                             Bm 
.....And I started my quiet, friendly revolution and they said: "Oh, a quiet friendly woman, super rare" 
       G                                                    Bm 
And I tried to convince them "it's not a personality, it's choice and a belief" 
                        G 
And "would you give me credit for it and please follow me" 
              Bm                                            G 
And they said: "Speak louder, we can't hear you when we're screaming 
                                 A 
you look nice now that you don't eat"

                D                         A 
And I was both black and a woman so I had two fights to fight so I was burned out and well, that was it

And I was Jesus and I went up to heaven Easter Sunday and I said: "I'm never going back to earth" 
A      D                  Em          Bm                 G               D 
...And Mother said: "oh Jesus up 'til now, you've been paying for Adam's sins

Soon is when the fun begins"

And then, she gave me a date for when this would occur
