The Lyrics

...jesus sings beatles and proves he's more popular than john lennon...
i've got heavy teasin' on earth
i ain't mad
cause i've been tossed in here by dear ol' dad
i'd like to get away
but for man's sins i'm gonna pay
i could run
but i'll die...instead

i got a cross on my shoulder
draggin' down the street
gettin' crucified is not a treat
oh, i could bail out now
but dad won't let me take a bow
i could run
but i'll die...instead

i'm gonna die for the people there
i could fly but i mustn't dare
i guess i'm gonna pass away 'ay
but i'll be back...on easter day

and when i do, a lotta shock may occur
i've gotta do my part to change the world
yes, i've gotta make ya enthused
and teach you i'm the lord you ought to choose
i could run
but i'll die...instead

don't wanna die but i am prepared
i'll get by, though i'm kinda scared
my body will be stashed away 'ay
but i'll be back...again to stay

and when i do, i'll be a sight to observe
and i'm gonna wear that crown, like i deserve
yes, i'm gonna do it for you
and show ya what a lovin' lord can do
i could run
but i'll die...instead
