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
