jesus for sale
a dollar a shot
you can win a free toy
if you get him while he's hot
jesus for sale
in that store at the mall
you can stick him on your bumper
you can hang him in the hall
you can wear him pretty, painted big
some tee shirt mimicking "Tide"
tell everyone you know the truth
confess later that you lied
you can display him like a cross to bear
or proclaim him from the curb
and, really, what would jesus do?
he'd say this is absurd
you can bottle up his fragrance
and promote him on TV
you can have a special prayer line
that people call for free
(the first two minutes, anyway)
you can steal his good ideas
a thousand books are being made
the self-righteous are making a buck today
tomorrow they'll have a parade
jesus for sale
in the front two bins
if you buy six or seven
you'll be washed of all your sins
jesus for sale
have you seen all the billboard-sized signs?
better come early
to avoid all the really long lines
