Jesus Was a Democrat - Everclear

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
