When did you becomethe topic of conversation,
When did you become this country´s
Popular myth
Seems that overnight you caught
Everybody´s attention
Everybody sings about you and your name
Bounces off their lips

When did you become superstar of
This generation
And when did you become commercial property
Everybody´s got their own sweet lord,
Hear them sing
Looking here, looking there but they just don´t
Seem sweet

Were you a guru, a godly man,
Or where you a genius, the best in the land

I read in the paper that you were back in fashion
Amongst the famous men you were high on the list
Don´t they realise that fashion´s a passing fancy

The truth is yesterday, today, forever
You´ll be staying
Yesterday, today, forever never wavering
You stated who you were and that will
Never change
Like it or not you´ll always be the same
Son of god

Like it or not, yesterday, today, forever (x6)
Yesterday, today, forever, like it or not
