American Jesus

There comes a time when a man

Must face the music

When his cover is blown

When the bootstraps of integrity

Are failing honey

And you're out on your ownTears on your face

A warm embraceThrow it back in the sky

Tell them you don't want any

Of it

For the rest of your life

Tell them you don't want any of itHow many times must a girl be forgiven honey

For putting out on a dime

Though the make-up and the

Shades to blur the vision

Darling

To me you look fineTears on your face

A warm embrace

The look on your faceThrow it back in the sky

Tell them you don't want any

Of it

For the rest of your life

Tell them you don't want any of itNo one wants an American Jesus

Full of guilt and pride

No one wants to keep covering their wounds up honey

For the rest of their lives
