The very first public act of Jesus and the disciples was to break the law of the land by picking grain on the Sabbath (Mk 2:23). This was just the first of many provocative, rule-breaking actions. Ultimately, Jesus was executed as a rebel by the establishment, who found him too great a threat.
FULL MADONNA LYRICS:
They were angels with dirty faces
‘Til they fell from somebody’s graces
They were soldiers without a mission
But they were angels
They had a vision
[Verse 1]
Like Robin Hood they were rebels
Some say they kept their company with the devil
No money, no social graces
But they could make men tremble in higher places
[Chorus]
They were angels with dirty faces
‘Til they fell from somebody’s graces
They were soldiers without a mission
But they were angels
They had a vision
[Verse 2]
They fought frustration with laughter
Made men forget just what they were running after
Holy life without any purpose
Taught them to trust their feelings beneath the surface
They were angels with dirty faces
‘Til they fell from somebody’s graces
They were soldiers without a mission
But they were angels
They had a vision
They had dirty faces
They had dirty faces
[Post-Chorus]
Black is white and day is night
Wrong can be right in the best light
Life is a game, it’s a perfect place
For angels with dirty faces, dirty faces
[Chorus]
They were angels with dirty faces
‘Til they fell from somebody’s graces
They were soldiers without a mission
But they were angels
They had a vision
[Post-Chorus]
Black is white and day is night
Wrong can be right in the best light
Life is a game, it’s a perfect place
For angels with dirty faces, dirty faces
They were angels with dirty faces
‘Til they fell from somebody’s graces
They were soldiers without a mission
But they were angels
They had a vision
They had dirty faces
Oh-oh-oh
They had dirty faces
[Chorus]
They were angels with dirty faces
‘Til they fell from somebody’s graces
They were soldiers without a mission
But they were angels
They had a vision
They had dirty faces
Oh-oh-oh
They had dirty faces
Oh-oh-oh
