This is the latest installment in the Songs of Sacrilege series. This is a series that I would like readers to help me with. If you know of a song that is irreverent towards religion, makes fun of religion, pokes fun at sincerely held religious beliefs, or challenges the firmly held religious beliefs of others, please send me an email.
Today’s Song of Sacrilege is I’ve Met Jesus by Hot Leg.
Lyrics
Worked hard at school
Did all the right things
Got a job
Got a car
Got a girl
Went and got the girl a ring
Go to your church
And sing your happy hymns
And you thank your little Jesus that you’re just like him
I’ve met Jesus
I’ve met Jesus
I’ve met Jesus
And he’s nothing like you
Nothing like you…
I know you think you’re right
But you’ve got it wrong
And your finding your way to a fight
Oh but you love that psalm
You’re a bigot
You’re a fool with a fundamental flaw
Jesus doesn’t love you just for keeping all the laws
I’ve met Jesus
I’ve met Jesus
I’ve met Jesus
And he’s nothing like you
Nothing like you…
Fun is fornication
Everything’s a sin
Oh if Jesus was a bouncer
He’d never let you in
You’re a judge
You’re a jury
You get drunk on your own fury
If I thrill you it will kill you
But you’ll never get to heaven ‘cos you’ll die of shock again
Ow!
I’ve met Jesus
I’ve met Jesus
I’ve met Jesus
And he’s nothing like you
There’s no resemblence whatsoever
I’ve met Jesus
I’ve met Jesus
I’ve met Jesus
And he’s nothing like you
(Nothing like you…)
