lyrics

jesus was a carpenter, hell well so was i.
does that make me the lord's son?
i can make cabinetry within the nick of time,
but i feel i'm going to hell when i'm done.

//\\..i'll be crying tears of joy from the dead lamb of god.
i'll be bathing in a pool of john the baptist's blood...//\\

mary had an illegitimate child, hell well so did i.
does that make me the saving grace?
sometimes all it takes is a little ol' white lie
to wipe that look of shame from yer face.

//\\..//\\

god gave man fish and bread, hell well so did i.
does that make me the creator of the divine?
in this song anyone i did not mean to offend,
but yer stories sound a lot like nursery rhymes.

//\\...//\\
