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
