Street Jesus Lyrics


Hey have you heard the news?
Somebody stole my shoes
And I could smell the booze
How indiscreet
And though I had a plan
After that thief outran
Into another man
Who had no feetI swear to God that day
That guy with no feet say
"You got to walk my way"
"That's how it's planned"
That's when I thought, "good grief"
J-Just ain't my belief
Until I saw the holes
Inside his handStreet Jesus
Street JesusCome on, come on, what you think about life?
Demon in heaven gotta carry a knife
You said to me, "no, that ain't the plan"

With a smile on his face and the holes in his handWise man tell ya what they're reading from a scroll
But things kinda change when the story gets told
They tell it like it is to everybody they meet
Just to sing it in the church what they're preaching in the streetPlacate and vacate your mind
Too late to make hate you'll findStreeeeeeeet Jeesuuuus
Streeeeeeeet JeesuuuusGood God Almighty, s'posed to be about love
You must've wished upon me by kissing the glove
I'm a high-stepping lover, sharp as a knife
I'm a pink flamingo on a great long lifeA wise man, poor man, beggar man too
You bet your bottom dollar but whatcha gonna do?
I can make up daylight jealous of the night
I try to play the game but I never get it right!Placate and vacate your mind
Too late to make hate you'll findWhen you wonder what's up
With your half empty cup
Say tell him "don't give up,
"Reach for the stars"You think you're so street wise
Just pray and close your eyes
Until we colonize
The moon and starsBut wouldn't it be great
If we could wipe the slate
When we all live in hate
And all this fearSo please don't call me "sir"
If you're whole life's a blur
And Mr. Bartender
Another beerSometimes it's hard trying to keep up the pace
The train kept a rollin' when you're trying to win the race
If you don't believe me, wanna stay in the game
You gotta know who from the heavens cameThey tell it like it is to everybody they meet
'Cause they're singing in the church what they're preaching in the street
If you wanna give 'em hell then you tell it from the steeple
But I'd rather be a priest so I can scream it to the peoplePlacate and vacate your mind
Too late to make hate you'll find
You won't get too many tries
Love is the love of my lifeStreeeeeeeet Jeesuuuus
Streeeeeeeet JeesuuuusStreeeeeeeet Jeesuuuus
Streeeeeeeet JeesuuuusStreeeeeeeet Jeesuuuus
Streeeeeeeet Jeesuuuus

Aerosmith is a prominent American rock band. Three of the members, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Tom Hamilton first met in Sunapee, New Hampshire in the late 60's, but it wasn't until 1970, in Boston, Massachusetts, that the three decided to form a band together. Later they met up with Joey Kramer (drums) and Brad Whitford (rhythm guitar).

The band enjoyed major popularity throughout the 1970's, with rock anthems like "Dream On" - but they split from 1979-84 due to serious substance abuse and drug addictions that contributed to their decline. The Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia reportedly said they were "the druggiest bunch of guys I've ever seen." Jimmy Crespo replaced Joe Perry during those five years. However, in 1984, chiefly due to the tireless efforts of Joe Perry's then manager, Tim Collins, to reform the band, Aerosmith was born again. Despite his own client Perry's insistence that it was unthinkable, Collins succeeded in helping the band resolve old differences and ultimately overcome their addictions. By 1989, the band had completely stopped their drug abuse. They went on to enjoy a resurgence in popularity that has made them one of top-selling and most popular rock bands in the world today. Their greatest worldwide hit was "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," from the blockbuster-hit movie "Armageddon".

Part of that renewal came in the form of a 1986 collaboration with Run- D.M.C. on a rock/rap version of Walk This Way. This song also served as an early step in bridging the gap between the rap community and rock and roll.

They have even infiltrated Disney Theme Parks in the U.S. and other countries with their own thrill ride 'Rock 'n' Rollercoaster featuring Aerosmith'. Continuing the ubiquitous marketing plan, they are also featured in their own version of the popular "Guitar Hero" video game.

In 2010, the band suffered a setback, and an on-again, off-again break-up following an on-stage accident in which Steven Tyler broke his collarbone, but by mid-year, European tourdates were announced and the band went on.

The Legendary Child Songfacts states that This was released as the first single from Aerosmith's fifteenth studio album, Music From Another Dimension!, which will be released on August 28, 2012 . The lead single was "Legendary Child," an unfinished piece originally put together in 1991 during the initial sessions for the Get a Grip album. The song was debuted live by the band on the finale of the eleventh series of American Idol on May 23, 2012.
