The Jesus Song Lyrics by The Bastard Fairies

The Jesus Song and Other Stocking Fillers

2010

Jesus was a prestidigitarian
Say, Jesus was a prestidigitarian
Turn water into wine
Made all the folks feel fine
Jesus was the best son of Mary
Say, Jesus was the best son of Mary
It's just like believing
In Santa Claus and fairies
[Chorus]
Every Sunday we pray to Jesus
We pray for money and we pray for love
Every day we kill for Jesus
We kill for money in the name of God
Adam created Eve from a rib
Say, Adam created Eve from a rib
Now we're all holes
Just made to sin
Jesus was a short-haired man of color
Say, Jesus was a short-haired man of color
We like 'cause believe he
Called everybody brother
[Chorus]
Every Sunday we pray to Jesus
We pray for money and we pray for love
Every day we kill for Jesus
We kill for money in the name of God
There once was a man who thought that
If he ate all the pages in the bible
He can kill most anything
In 1913 he died of a stroke
When he tried to eat the book of kings
Muslims, Mormons, Catholics and the Christians
There's the Muslims, Mormons, Catholics and the Christians
Which one do you think your lord is best?
Which one do you think your lord is best?
