lyrics

JESUS

You look around you and you’ll see
God doesn’t really care
The simple Reason for this is
He isn’t really there
There ain’t no bread from heaven
And there’s no such thing as sin
It’s just some shit they’ll give you
To fill the collection bin.

Hallelujah, God be praised
I’d rather go to hell
Hallelujah, God be saved
A joke that the dead can’t tell

Jesus must have loved me
To put me in this place
So nice that loving saviour
He just kicks you in the face
But still his teachings blossom
Coz the money’s rolling in
And do the rotting corpses think they’re going up to him

Hallelujah, God be praised
I’d rather go to hell
Hallelujah, God be saved
A joke that the dead can’t tell

Just give to Caesar what is his
Or so the prophet asks
And get down on your knees to pray and take it up the arse
It’s not about salvation or the light, the truth, the way
It’s keeping you down in your place
And learning to obey

Hallelujah, God be praised
I’d rather go to hell
Hallelujah, God be saved
A joke that the dead can’t tell
