Jesus Was a Capricorn - Jack Ingram

Jesus was a stoner, uh-huh Born in Southern California, uh-huh Babylon on the corner, uh-huh Why they try the stoner, uh-huh I'm called the weed messiah Rock your lighter You transfixed with the spliff and your lips higher Like smoke rises Your sex is hightened Inhale, embrace Mary, but don't be frightened I bring the God flower Uplift the people Holy sacrament communion, take and let me feed you No superstitions and crucifixions or false prophets Crosses burning in my hand, call it burned object Smoke gathers like holy masses Take a hit, pass it to the left, it's in the passage You know my disciples This is a new revival Judas rosen to the soil two in which to cycle Smoking Mother Earth Blessing is the herb Mother Mary save us Thankful for what you gave us Roll it in my papers Share it with my neighbours High as scyscrapers A cult of cultivators We got the multitude Our sisters and our brothers How I break my bread Like it's the last supper I'm the blood of stoners I'm the higher after Believe me, elevate Hear the signs of laughter I'll be the greenest rapture Stoned Jesus with the cleanest shatter Some of demons has a dream depatcher Get the screen capture If you perceive this as a needless chatter You need to hit a Stoned Jesus chapter I'll be the greenest rapture Stoned Jesus with the cleanest shatter Some of demons has a dream inspector Get the screen capture If you perceive this as a needless chatter You need to hit a Stoned Jesus chapter Heavenly father, please forgive us again Heavenly father, please forgive us again

If Jesus was a rock star Livin' like a party every day and divin' off the stage If he'd give it to a pop star Then I'd, I'd wanna be just like him If Jesus was a rock star Throwin' daddy's money all around while he was gettin' down So they kicked him outta the bar Then I'd, I'd wanna be just like him Maybe all I really need is somethin' to believe Hell yeah (hell yeah) I need someone who can teach me to get on my knees Hell yeah (yeah) But if he looked like Kurt Cobain, I might If he drank the pain away, I might And if you think I can't be saved, that's right I really, really want you to know that If Jesus was a rock star Livin' like a party every day and divin' off the stage If he'd give it to a pop star Then I'd, I'd wanna be just like him If Jesus was a rock star (rock star) Throwin' daddy's money all around while he was gettin' down So they kicked him outta the bar (pop star) Then I'd, I'd wanna be just like him (yeah) I might meet him (where?)

I stumbled on a preacher Sunday mornin' All decked out and made up for TV Askin' for some money from God's people Talkin' all that high theology Well I might be just an old blue collar There's things about the Lord that I don't know But I bet he never had a million dollars Or wore a lot of stylish fancy clothes 'Cause Jesus was a country boy Walkin' down a dirt road, with everything that he owned He never met a stanger Born in a barn underneath the stars His momma laid him in a manger Swimmin' in the river Fishin' for his dinner Livin' with the sinners like me Makes me think that Jesus was a country boy My daddy never cared much for religion And my momma worried a lot about his soul She'd hit her knees and pray for him on Sunday While daddy hit his favorite fishin' hole You see daddy was a rebel and a rambler But I always knew he loved my momma so I never doubted he'd make it to heaven 'Cause it ain't who you are It's who you know And daddy knew That Jesus was a country boy Walkin' down a dirt road, with everything that he owned He never met a stanger Born in a barn underneath the stars His momma laid him in a manger Swimmin' in the river Fishin' for his dinner Livin' with the sinners like me Makes me think, that Jesus was a country boy Oh yes and I believe That Jesus was a country boy

If I was Jesus I'd have some real long hair A robe and some sandals, is exactly what I'd wear I'd be the guy at the party Turning water into wine Me and my disciples We'd have a real good time Oooh and I'd lay my life down for you Yeah, and I'd show you who's the boss I'd forgive you and adore you While I was hangin' on your cross If I was Jesus I'd have some friends that were poor I'd run around with the wrong crowd Man I'd never be bored Then I'd heal me a blind man Get myself crucified By politicians and preachers Who got something to hide Oooh and I'd lay my life down for you Yeah, I'd show you who's the boss I'd forgive you and adore you While I was hangin' on your cross If I was Jesus Break If I was Jesus I'd come back from the dead And I'd walk on some water Just to mess with your head I know your dark little secrets I'd look you right in the face And tell you I love you With amazing grace Oooh and I'd lay my life down for you Yeah, I'd show you who's the boss I'd forgive you and adore you While I was hangin' on your cross If I was Jesus If I was Jesus

Every time I tried to make it on my own Every time I tried to stand and start to fall And all those lonely roads that I have travelled on There was Jesus When the life I built came crashing to the ground When the friends I had were nowhere to be found I couldn't see it then but I can see it now There was Jesus In the waiting, in the searching In the healing and the hurting Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces Every minute, every moment Where I've been and where I'm going Even when I didn't know it or couldn't see it There was Jesus For this man who needs amazing kind of grace (Mmm) For forgiveness at a price I couldn't pay (Mmm) I'm not perfect so I thank God every day There was Jesus (There was Jesus) In the waiting, in the searching In the healing and the hurting Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces Every minute, every moment Where I've been and where I'm going Even when I didn't know it or couldn't see it There was Jesus On the mountain, in the valleys (There was Jesus) In the shadows of the alleys (There was Jesus) In the fire, in the flood (There was Jesus) Always is and always was No I never walk alone (Never walk alone) You are always there In the waiting, in the searching In the healing and the hurting Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces Every minute (Every minute), every moment (Every moment) Where I've been and where I'm going Even when I didn't know it or couldn't see it There was Jesus There was Jesus There was Jesus There was Jesus

It was the third of September That day I'll always remember, yes I will 'Cause that was the day that my daddy died I never had a chance to see him Never heard nothin' but bad things about him Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth Mama looked up and said son Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died all he left us was alone Where the hell are you daddy, that's what I'm sayin' Down on my knees and tears and I'm prayin' Wishing and hoping my dreams could come true So I could feel like the other kids do A young child but not complete as a whole Before I was born you up and strolled Mama was there but you was up in the wind You never even knew my name and then You never wrote, called, let alone came by As a youth it was hard to wonder why But now I'm older and I don't dwell on self pity Thinking about the life you didn't give me I remember when I used to tell lies When people would ask I'd just fantasize Thinking of stories to make you look good But the real truth was you was never no good People would say I looked just like you But rest assured I don't act like you I'm more than that, my mama raised me better And you can best believe I'm much more together So belive that Mama is it true what they say That papa never worked a day in his life? And mama there's some bad talk goin' round town That papa had three out-side children And another wife, and that ain't right Heard some talk about papa Doin' some store-front prechin' Talking about saving souls and all the time leaching Dealin' in dirt and stealing in the name of the Lord Mama looked up and said son Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died all he left us was alone It's been said you gave me something you never had But that's not always true and it's sad To find myself missing you when I did But who knows the reasons why you did what you did I can't help but wonder why You lived your life as a big fat lie You act like you had no responsibilities 'Cause if you did it's a bet that you wouldn't be Stealin' beggin' hustlin' and schemin' You could'a got a job But did you know the meaning of work I'm talking about an honest day's pay But you was too lazy to be that way Always trying to take the easy route That's what they tell me, so I don't doubt It for a moment, not for a sec Because you lacked all your self respect But it's too late for you that is Tomorrow I'll be going on about my biz And so it's time to put the past behind Erase the anger and clear my mind I want to forget the little bit I know And make sure that I never sink so low 'Cause I want my kids to grow up and know That I was always there because I loved them so And that's the least thing that I can do But that's a lot more than I got from you I heard papa call himself a jack of all trades Tell me is that what sent papa to an early grave? Folks say papa would beg, borrow or steal To pay his bills Hey mama, folks say papa wasn't much on thinkin' Spent most of his time chasing women and drinkin' Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died all he left us was alone
