Jesus, Jesus

Jesus Jesus can 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 want to leave her

And the television screams

Such hideous things

And they're talking about the war on the radio

They say the whole things 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

Jesus Jesus it's such a pretty place we live in

And I know we've fucked it up but 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 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 who 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

And 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

And 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

Maybe we could meet for coffee and work it out

Maybe then I'd understand what it's all about
