Why Don't You Look Into Jesus - Larry Norman

Sipping whiskey from a paper cup

You drown your sorrows till you can’t stand up

Take a look at what you’ve done to yourself

Why don’t you put the bottle back on the shelf

Yellow fingers from your cigarettes

Your hands are shaking while your body sweats

Why don’t you look into Jesus, He’s got the answer

Gonorrhea on Valentines Day

And you’re still looking for the perfect lay

You think rock and roll will set you free

You’ll be deaf before your thirty three

Shooting junk till your half insane

Broken needle in your purple vein

Why don’t you look into Jesus, He’s got the answer

You work all night, sleep all day

You take your money, throw it all away

You say you’re going to be a superstar

But you’ve never hung around enough to find out who you really are

Think back to when you were a child

Your soul was free, your heart ran wild

Each day was different, and life was a thrill

You knew tomorrow would be better still

Things have changed you’re much older now

If you’re unhappy and you don’t know how

Why don’t you look into Jesus, He’s got the answer
