who art thou ?...who ?...who ?...who ?...who ?
who art thou ?...who ?...who ?...who ?...who ?

i woke up in a filthy manger
prince of peace, my claim to fame
they said, "things are stirred up in rome tonight...
better stop now and walk away"
"keep your act in the underground"
they would plead, but still i dared
i remember passin' fishes around
and preachin' from mounds there

well, who art thou ?...who ? who ?...who ?...who ?
they really want to know
tell me, who art thou ?...who art thou ?...who ? who ?...who ?...who ?
oh man, they want to know...who art thou ?...who ? who ?...who ?...who ?

i rode a mule right into town
railed 'gainst the mortal sins
i was a riddle and a pest, they'd found
and they planned to do me in
so one night i was kidnapped
and i was tossed in a cell and flayed
i had the power of the big man
god, i want to do this thing your way

well, who art thou ?...who ? who ?...who ?...who ?
they really want to know
tell me, who art thou ?...who art thou ?...who ? who ?...who ?...who ?
oh man, they want to know...who art thou ?...who ? who ?...who ?...who ?

and so with a cross, i walked
twas doomed to calvary's tree
and though i died, i rose on up
just as snappy as you please
my tomb is just an empty hole
i forgave the judas kiss
and i can measure up to anyone now
after such a love like this

well, who art thou ?...who ? who ?...who ?...who ?
they really want to know
tell me, who art thou ?...who art thou ?...who ? who ?...who ?...who ?
oh man, they want to know...who art thou ?...who ? who ?...who ?...who ?
they want that i should tell them
they want that i should tell them
they're askin' me just...who, who...who...art thou ?
