Jesus Was a Democrat |
Jesus Christ didn’t have blue eyes or blond hair |
He looked just like all those people that you want to kill |
Spin your hell into a heaven you can sell |
Make it look like California with a bible belt |
Jesus didn’t look like the boy next door |
Unless you live in Palestine |
I wonder what you mean by the golden rule |
I think it is a scary play on words |
I wonder what they taught you back in Sunday school |
I bet you think of him |
As a nice clean long haired Republican, nah |
He would be all locked up in Guantanamo Bay |
If he were alive today |
He would have been a revolutionary |
Wanted by the CIA |
I picture him in all the wrong places |
Finding diamonds in the dirt |
A star of David tattoo |
And a Che t-shirt |
Jesus Christ was a left wing radical Jew |
Murdered by people like you |
If Jesus was a Democrat like the bible says he was |
I don’t think he’s going to want to take the blame |
For all the awful things you say and do in his name |
If Jesus was alive he would be sad to see |
That it is no different than it used to be |
Someday he’s going to call you out |
I am pretty god damned sure … |
He is going to be angry |
He is going to be angry |
You want to know what I think… |
I think Jesus would have been a card carrying liberal |
If he was a young man born in the USA |
He would not be «fiscally conservative» |
And he wouldn’t vote for John McCain |
All those so called Christians that you see on TV |
Maybe they scare Jesus like they scare me |
Kick you the hell out of my temple too |
Too many elephants in the room |
If Jesus was a Democrat like the bible says he was |
I don’t think he’s going to want to take the blame |
For all the awful things you people do and say in his name |
If Jesus was alive today he would be sad to see |
That it is no different than it used to be |
Someday he’s going to call you out |
I am pretty god damned sure… |
He is going to be… mad |
He is going to be angry |
He is going to be… mad |
He is going to be… mad |
You say Jesus loves the little children |
And I say I know that’s true |
I say he loves all the Muslims and the Jews |
All the addicts and the porn stars too |
You say Jesus died to save us all from a fiery hell |
I say Jesus died to save us |
Save us from ourselves |
Will you save me from myself? |
If Jesus was a liberal like the red letters say he was |
I know he would have big love for all the killers and the racists |
And the bullies in this world |
If Jesus was alive today |
And you had a chance to meet him face to face |
I’m pretty God-damned sure that you and your friends |
Would find some way to kill him all over again |
You would kill him all over again |
Again and again and again |
Just like you always do |
You do just what you always do |
