Week Twelve - Born Again Asshole
I'm writing, recording, and releasing a song a week for a year. I hope it finds you somewhere along the way :)
lyrics
You say you're a man of Jesus Christ
But Jesus Christ, man
I think you think you're him
But you're just a born again asshole
Wake up, get real
Get real, get real
Be humble or be humiliated
Shut up, shut up now
Cause one of your "disciples" is spewing nonsense
Words that can kill
Isn't there something in the book about that
It's Friday night in the heart of Lent
As you sink your teeth in that 12oz New York strip
You're a walking and talking hypocrisy
Torn between bragging about your faith or your money
Why not both
It boosts your ego the same
Be humble or be humiliated
I'm sorry it had to be me
You're twice my age with half the integrity
But thank god you were "here to teach me"
How many people have you buried
By running your mouth when you don't know a god damn thing
Twice my age with half the integrity
Twice my age but you haven't learned a thing
Leave your religion at the fucking door
31 years, still don't know the rules around here
Find me in the parking lot when I'm feeling as "spiritual" as you
At least you'd have the money to fix your teeth
