Jesus Walks

-Jesus Walks-

I had a talk with Jesus just the other day
He said “This world is something even I can’t save
The love is gone, we send our brothers to the grave
Then turn our backs and walk away.”

I saw the Virgin Mary on Cottman Avenue
Turning tricks because her faith is all gone too
I saw the Virgin Mary get beat to black and blue
By a man with a crucifix tattoo

Chorus:
See the world through the eyes of a sinner
If I burn in hell, then the fault is mine
Swept away like rain on a river
Jesus walks tonight

I had a talk with the devil just the other day
He said “Fire walk with me, because we’re going down in flames
The world’s a loss, let’s burn them at the stake.”
The devil’s right, we can’t be saved

I met a preacher at my front door yesterday
He said to follow him and my soul might be safe
But his bigotry is woven in the fibers of his faith
So he spreads intolerance and hate

Bridge:
And it’s a shame how we know ourselves we’re going down
A shame how that’s the road we’re going down now
