I heard there was a secret chord,
that David played and it pleased the lord.
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this: The fourth, the fifth.
The minor fall, and the major lift.
The baffled king composing Hallelujah.

(Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah)

[Now heaven knows we all know the first.
But can you recite the second verse?
Oh? You don't quite recall the words, now do ya?
'Cos that's truth about our sins.
They lie victim to convenience.
Only when you see fit will you sing Hallelujah.]

(CHORUS)

[Now you may think it blasphemous,
for me to take this song and butcher it.
You don't like the taste of your own medicine now, do ya?
'Cos isn't that your holy code?
To take what's theirs and claim it's your own.
While the beaten, bruised and alone scream Hallelujah.]

(CHORUS)

[Now, you may be tired of this ancient din.
But let me sneak another cliché in.
You don't really care for Him now, do ya?
Yeah all you want is an excuse,
so you can rationalize the evil things you'll do.
So when all is done and through, you can spew Hallelujah.]

(CHORUS) x2
