lyrics

i went into a church
the sign said United We Stand
i went in to gather round jesus
they were praying to Uncle Sam
who i have been cursing all week
as he is lording it over me

"you ain't no god" i kept repeating.
then here these folks disagree.

jesus in the rubble of the temple
jesus for insurrection to the chair
i don't know who these folks were praying to,
but i believed i was about to make a prayer.

jesus, jesus,

i have read that you said you were God.
i don't know what you meant, but it seems to me
if you are you came to remind us
that in you we were born free.
