NEW CLOTHES

Verse 1:
Long ago an emperor was subject to a scam
Some clothing made of "Super Cloth" that’s only seen by him.
Everybody watching was afraid to face the fact.
‘till a little boy shouts out "He’s got nothing on his back"

Chorus:
The Emperor's got new clothes.
The Emperor's got new clothes.
Everyone's just got to see,
they’re coming out in droves
'Cause The Emperor's got new clothes.

Verse 2:
Playing in a band with no talent and no tact
Found a useful way to get a gig and do our act
Make like we are famous and are shocked when they don t know,
just how popular they'd be if they put us in the show.

Chorus:
The Emperor's got new clothes.
The Emperor's got new clothes.
Everyone's just got to see,
they’re coming out in droves
'Cause The Emperor's got new clothes.

Verse 3:
Keeping up appearances, we all put on a show,
living in a secret life, & hoping folks don't know.
It's obvious to everyone, you're living in a lie.
You're just hoping no one mentions it until the day you die.

Chorus:
The Emperor's got new clothes.
The Emperor's got new clothes.
Everyone's just got to see,
they’re coming out in droves
'Cause The Emperor's got new clothes.

Bridge:
Well I know your works & that you say you have no needs.
You accumulate a lot & struggle hard to gain your ease.
The kid saw through the king, The Lord can see through you.
Naked, blind, and miserable, it's time to face the truth!

Verse 4:
Jesus said "I stand at the door and I Knock..."
Anyone who answers gets a personal response.
Salve for your eyes, a white garment for your back,
Admit and repent He will fill up all you lack.

New Chorus:
The sinner's got new clothes.
The sinner's got new clothes.
Salve for your eyes, a white garment that glows,
The sinner's got new clothes.
