Religion is a very complicated thing. I get the God thing. But why do I need an old white dude to tell me what God wants?

Billy read the bible
When he was a kid
He really dug Jesus
All the groovy things he did
He said when I grow up
I’m gonna be a Jesus too
Cause when you’re a Jesus
You’re an absolute dude

Chorus:
He must have got confused
By the stories that he read
He turns wine into water
And water into bread
A miracle’s a miracle
So any one will do
If Jesus was a carpenter
Well Karen was one too

You can’t walk on water
If you part the sea
Maybe being Jesus ain’t
All it’s cracked up to be
So if Barbara Hershey
Is Mary Magdeline
Would you trade the righteous life
For just one night of sin

Now that Billy’s a holy man
He gave up drinking beer
That high life cost Jesus
Those 17 lost years
All the scholars still debate
Just where did Jesus go
Maybe he was at Gruene Hall
Just playing dominos
