Jesus Was A Wino

Some days you wake up, life feels meaningless You don't even have the strength to get up and get dressed And then when you do you see your clothes are all torn to shreds You can't even afford to buy a needle and thread So you might go to church, to bow your head and pray But that ain't always enough to get you through the day Sometimes you feel bitter and think "this priest is a mooch" You might just take all of your tithes for a bottle of hooch And if people knew, they would look down on you Don't they know that it's true, Jesus was a wino, too Cos people may ask, "Why have your lips turned black? What the hell is so funny man, why have your eyes gone all slack?" They're gonna feel high and mighty when I can barely stand I just tell them I couldn't turn down one more glass of the blood of the lamb Cos if people knew they would call me a fool I wish they knew it was true, Jesus was a wino, too And this here six dollar bottle is just about all that I can afford And if I can't find a corkscrew I'll just smash it open right here on the floor And you might call me crazy for lapping this off the ground But a few years ago I could be drinking with Jesus right now They might not have had Carlo Rossi way back in his day Jesus had only water but He turned it to wine, anyway And nobody asked "WWJD?" Cos everybody knew Jesus was a wino too.
