I never thought Bethlehem was a real place.
I just thought that was where my lord was born.
Not until that day and I still think it’s a disgrace….
the tanks rolled in to Bethlehem….
We pulled in to Seattle run,
we pulled into Seattle fly,
shook off the news and played like a child
the day the tanks rolled in to Bethlehem….
We sang songs and played all night.
We were dancing on the sidewalk come the morning light.
If it was up to us everything would’ve been alright
the day the tanks rolled in to Bethlehem….
Right where little baby Jesus lay
where the cattle were loing and the wise men came,
a little boy was shot and died, I don’t know his name
the day the tanks rolled in to Bethlehem….
