V1.
We are the Pharisees - the teachers of the law,
We are the Pharisees - so now you know the score,
We'll show you we're no fools, we stick to all of the rules,
Yes we're the Pharisees
Don't mess with us!
V2.
We are the Pharisees - and that means that we're never wrong, (us, wrong? Ha!)
No, we're the Pharisees - religiously speaking we're strong (Phew)
We've got the seniority - we're the ones with all the authority,
We are the Pharisees
Don't mess with us!
Bridge
If you go around the place causing us all kinds of trouble,
Or spreading malicious and vicious and scandalous lies,
Undermining our teaching, outlining a different solution,
Then you'd better start making plans for somewhere to hide!
V3.
We are the Pharisees - our egos are really enormous,
We are the Pharisees - prestigious religious performers,
We're the business, we're the tops, have you got it yet, pops?
We are the Pharisees
Don't mess with us!
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
V4. INSTRUMENTAL 2 lines
We're the top dogs, we're the boss, and you, pal, are making us cross,
We are the Pharisees
Stop messing with us.
V5.
We - are - the - Pharisees - Full of prejudice, anger and hate,
We are the Pharisees - don't mess around with us, mate,
Or else we'll tie you in knots, and send you back home in a box,
We are the Pharisees
We're telling you straight!
V6.
We are the Pharisees - Push us too far and we'll snap (Crack Ow)
We are the Pharisees - we'll lead you into a trap,
We'll turn your people against you and kill you if we can,
'Cause we are the Pharisees - and
You've been messing with us,
You've been messing with us,
You've been messing with us,
Stop messing with us,
Stop messing with us,
Stop messing with us!.
