(Kye Fleming, Janis Ian)

I went to see my sister

She was staying with a friend
Who had turned into a preacher
To save the world from sin

He said "First deny your body,
Then learn to submit
Pray to be made worthy,

And tithe your ten percent"
I said "Is this all there is,
Just the letter of the law?"

Something's wrong.

I went to see my brother

On the 32nd floor
Of a building down on Wall Street
You could hear the future's roar

He said "Here we make decisions,
And we trade commodities;
If you tell me where there's famine,

I can make you guarantees"
I said "Is this all there is,
Power to be strong?"

Something's wrong.

[Chorus:]

Something's wrong in heaven tonight
You can almost hear them cry
Angels to the left and the right

Saying "What about the love
What about the love
What about the love?"


I went to see my neighbor
He'd been taken to a home

For the weak and the discarded
Who have no place to go
He said "Here I lack for nothing

I am fed and I am clothed,
But at times I miss the freedom
I used to know"

I said "Is this all there is
When your usefulness is gone?"
Something's wrong.


[Chorus]


I looked into the mirror
Proud as I could be
And I saw my pointing finger

Pointing back at me
Saying "Who named you accuser
Who gave you the scales"

I hung my head in sorrow
I could almost feel the nails
I said "This is how it is

To be crucified and judged
Without love."


[Chorus 2x]
