| Jesus, Jesus, could you tell me what the problem is
|
| With the world and all the people in it?
|
| Because I've been hearing stories about the end of the world
|
| But I'm in love with a girl and I don't wanna leave her
|
| And the television screams such hideous things
|
| They're talking about the war on the radio
|
| They say the whole thing's gonna blow
|
| And we will all be left alone
|
| No we'll be dead and we won't know what hit us
|
| Jesus, Jesus, if you're up there won't you hear me
|
| ‘Cause I've been wondering if you're listening for quite a while
|
| And Jesus, Jesus, it's such a pretty place we live in
|
| And I know we fucked it up, please be kind
|
| Don't let us go out like the dinosaurs
|
| Or blown to bits in a third world war
|
| There are a hundred different things I'd still like to do
|
| I'd like to climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower
|
| Look up from the ground at a meteor shower
|
| And maybe even raise a family
|
| Jesus, Jesus, there are those that say they love you
|
| But they have treated me so goddamn mean
|
| And I know you said ‘forgive them for they know not what they do'
|
| But sometimes I think they do
|
| And I think about you
|
| If all the heathens burn in hell, do all their children burn as well?
|
| What about the Muslims and the gays and the unwed mothers?
|
| What about me and all my friends?
|
| Are we all sinners if we sin?
|
| Does it even matter in the end if we're unhappy?
|
| Jesus, Jesus, I'm still looking for answers
|
| Though I know that I won't find them here tonight
|
| But Jesus, Jesus, could you call me if you have the time?
|
| And maybe we could meet for coffee and work it out
|
| And maybe then I'll understand what it's all about |
