My Friend Jesus

I bought a product they should not have sold

I called the help line

They put me on hold

I've been waiting for an hour

Now my phone's losing power

And I'm gonna explode

I hear, "How may I help you today?"

I know a very rude answer

But I'm wondering, 'Hey…'

What if everybody talked like my friend Jesus

If everybody loved like my friend Jesus

If everyone forgave like my friend Jesus

It would give the world a new beginning

What if this is like an early inning?

I state my business

She puts me on hold

I'm back to thinking

I'm gonna explode

And the dog wants dinner

And the music they're playing

Is the soundtrack of hell

You say, "Two wrongs don't make a right?"

Just try listening to Celine Dion all night.

But if everybody talked like my friend Jesus

If everybody loved like my friend Jesus

If everyone forgave like my friend Jesus

If we want to mend world relations

Surely I can show a little patience

I've been waiting around for this world to change

Another day cut loose, another lame excuse

I've got the why and how to start here and now

Then my cellphone drops the call

And I spew out vitriol

And as my fist goes through the wall

A voice says

"BE THE CHANGE YOU WANNA SEE!"

'Cause if everybody talked like my friend Jesus

If everybody loved like my friend Jesus

If everyone forgave like my friend Jesus

What a changed world this could be

Starting now, maybe I can start the change in me
