Jesus was a Revolutionary
He died in the electric chair of his day
He broke bread with beggars wh#res and sinners
And he pissed off the rich
With the things that he said
Jesus worked for citizen distinction
He didn’t pledge allegiance to the nations flag
He’d come into town on a back of a donkey
Searching for a stone upon which to rest his head
Long ago from the land of galilee
Come a man with a beard
Long hair and dirty feet
They didn’t like the things he said
They didn’t like the things he talked
So, they marched him up a hill
And they nailed him to a cross
Jesus Was a Revolutionary
He died in the electric chair of his day
He broke bread with beggars wh#res and sinners
And he pissed off the rich
With the things that he said
Well Jesus weren’t no real estate investor
He didn’t have a pension or an I.R.A
He laid up all his treasures there in heaven
Then he died in the electric chair of his day
Long ago from the land of Galilee
Come a man with a beard
Long hair and dirty feet
They didn’t like the things he said
They didn’t like the things he talked
So, they marched him up a hill
And they nailed him to a cross
Jesus Was a Revolutionary
He died in the electric chair of his day
He broke bread with beggars wh#res and sinners
And he pissed off the rich
With the things that he said
Well Jesus was a radicle with a social list agenda
He divvied up the bread and fish and give it all away
He weren’t no member of the chamber of commerce
No he turned over tables where ya deals were made
Long ago from the land of galilee
Come a man with a beard
Long hair and dirty feet
They didn’t like the things he said
They didn’t like the things he talked
So, they marched him up a hill
And they nailed him to a cross
Jesus Was a Revolutionary
He died in the electric chair of his day
He broke bread with beggars wh#res and sinners
And he pissed off the rich
With the things that he said
Jesus Was a Revolutionary
He died in the electric chair of his day
