John the Revelator, put him in an elevator
Take him up to the highest high
Take him up to the top where the mountains stop
Let him tell his book of lies
John the Revelator, he's a smooth operator
It's time we cut him down to size
Take him by the hand And put him on the stand
Let us hear his alibis
By claiming God as his only rock
He's stealing a God from the Israelite
Stealing a God from a Muslim, too
There is only one God through and through
Seven lies, multiplied by seven, multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train
Well, who's that shouting?
John the Revelator
All he ever gives us is pain
Well, who's that shouting?
John the Revelator
He should bow his head in shame
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Seven lies, multiplied by seven, multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train
Well, who's that shouting?
John the Revelator
All he ever gives us is pain
Well, who's that shouting?
John the Revelator
He should bow his head in shame
Bye-bye
Bye-bye (John the Revelator)
Bye-bye (John the Revelator)
Bye-bye (John the Revelator)

~you know who are skilled with showing you what the Bible teaches are those Jehovah's witnesses....they really have researched a lot....I might join them one day...or not....watever~
I was brought up as one and can honestly say that they are not skilled researchers at all; most of their doctrine is unsound and their references to other scholars are intellectually and academically dishonest.
On a much more broader level they destroy families through their shunning of ex members and have siginificant issues with people obtaining a higher education; furthermore and more sinister than the above, their policies have allowed child abuse within their organisation to reach a pandemic proportion.

Personally the song is about losing faith and religious intolerance.
