Hijack Jesus

from Revolution of the Heart by Fr Mark

/

about

A Lyrical satire on the types of "Jesuses" co-opted by any ideology or movement. Instead of conforming Jesus to me, I want dto do it the other way around, but that is far too revolutionary, and far too dangerous.

lyrics

Hijack Jesus, free download available it’s basic
Personal lord and savior on a personalized playlist
Hijack Jesus, for your personal satisfaction
And conveniently hijacked for instant action
 
We’ve Got Jesus conserved for the right wing moralist
To amoralize exploitation of the underprivileged
We’ve got Jesus the go-get-em capitalist
Capitalizing off the Gospel God blesses the prosperous
We’ve got Jesus for the syncretic yoga kabbalist
Warm and fuzzies so nobody gets offended
We’ve got Jesus for the flower sons and daughters
An emotional hallucenagin bright like phosphorous
We’ve got Jesus for the imperial conquistador
Who subjected the Gospel along with the poor
We’ve got Jesus for supermarket consumer
Tabloids, Soundbites, Bible quotes and national reporter
We’ve Got Jesus for your paranoid conspiracies
Because it is easier to believe the most fantastic theories
We’ve got Jesus with bling neck pendants and earrings
And a music video… I’m sick of making Jesus mirror me
 
Hijack Jesus, free download available it’s basic
Personal lord and savior on a personalized playlist
Hijack Jesus, for your personal satisfaction
And conveniently hijacked for instant action
 
We’ve got Jesus Christ the trendy rock super star
With a tattoo of a skull and an arrow through the heart
We’ve got Jesus in a tuxedo t shirt party started
So don’t worry about being formally imparted
We’ve got Jesus wrapped in a box cardboard package
Satisfaction guaranteed or your payment back
We’ve got Jesus an exclusive divine abstraction
No need for human flesh or physiological interaction
We’ve got Jesus with all love forget justice
Because laws are passé and feelings are unlimited
We’ve got Jesus for the gospel of prosperity minister
The poor deserve it, and God loves the rich
We’ve got Jesus a debunked delusional myth
For your close minded evolutionist or indifferent atheist
We’ve got Jesus for the Christian hypocrite
Justifying the sin … sick of making Jesus in my image
 
Hijack Jesus, free download available it’s basic
Personal lord and savior on a personalized playlist
Hijack Jesus, for your personal satisfaction
And conveniently hijacked for instant action
