Lyrics
Paper Jesus
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You take this all for granted
All the things they choose to feed you
By keeping you distracted
Just long enough to bleed you...dry
A reason for your anger
It's what I need
It's what I need
To recognize the truth
It's what I need
It's what I need
So burn your paper Jesus
It's what I need
It's what I need
And own the things you do
It's what I need
It's what I need
Question what they sell you
All the lies that they are teaching
And they've made a corporation
Out of desperate people's feelings...of fear
A reason for your anger
It's what I need
It's what I need
To recognize the truth
It's what I need
It's what I need
So burn your paper Jesus
It's what I need
It's what I need
And own the things you do
It's what I need
It's what I need
Somebody chose these words for you
Interpretations of the truth
Somewhere behind your fear they hide
To fill the holes inside
A reason for your anger
It's what I need
It's what I need
To recognize the truth
It's what I need
It's what I need
So burn your paper Jesus
It's what I need
It's what I need
And own the things you do
It's what I need
It's what I need
