He doesn't smile and he seems to me
Resigned to a life of misery
Yet everything that he says hits a tight bull's-eye
Now men dread when they see his face
He tells them that they'd better mend their ways
And when they still don't stop
He often breaks down and cries
Whoa, oh oh, weep, jeremiah
Whoa, oh oh oh, we love the lie

He prophesied babylonia's rise
And said we'd not escape
They came up against judah's sides
And we were all afraid
But jeremiah said the one safe way
Was give up without a fight
We said, "you're a traitor and a pain
You falsely prophesy! "
Whoa, oh oh, weep, jeremiah
Whoa, oh oh oh, we love the lie
Lead

Whoa, oh oh, weep, jeremiah
Whoa, oh oh oh, we love the lie
Whoa, oh oh oh, weep, jeremiah
Ooh, we love the lie
Lead

Dare to be bold, dare to be bold now, dare to be bold
Dare to be bold, dare to be bold now
Dare to be bold, ooh, dare to be bold now
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
Dare to be bold now
Dare to be bold
Oh, dare to be bold now
Dare to be bold, dare to be bold now
Dare to be bold, dare to be bold now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Weep jeremi-I-I-I-iah
Jeremi-I-I-I-I-I-iah
