Homeless Jesus Creeps Me Out

April 14, 2014 2:25 AM

I'm often inspired to write little songs and poems in Metafilter threads, as some of you here might have noticed over the years. I've decided that from now on, whenever time allows, I will not only post those kinds of things as text in a thread, but will record and post them here at Metafilter Music as audio, and in as timely a fashion as possible. This song was inspired by a comment posted by homunculus in a post I made about a statue of Jesus.

LYRICS:

homeless Jesus creeps me out
i liked him better on the cross, no doubt
hanging up there with nails through his feet
that's the kind of Jesus I prefer to meet

i don't want no homeless Jesus in my neighborhood
let's nail him back up on the cross, yeah i really think we should

when i was driving by last night
homeless Jesus gave me such a fright
i locked the doors of my Mercedes Benz
don't wanna think about the homeless, and neither do my friends

i don't want no homeless Jesus in my neighborhood
let's nail him back up on the cross, yeah i really think we should

i mean, what's he doing lying there on that bench
he might jump up and hit you on the head with a wrench

this ain't the Jesus that i want to see
i want Jesus like he used to be
hangin' on his cross, about halfway dead
bloody crown of thorns upon his head

i don't want no homeless Jesus in my neighborhood
let's nail him back up on the cross, yeah i really think we should
