Wooden Jesus

writersu

Don't hit me with your wooden Jesus
Dont stab me with your metal cross
We both know life is easy
When you're use to telling people off.

It's fun and it's oh so jaded
When you're use to telling what to do
It's fucked up and it's so faded
When you hold others higher than you.

Oh you're eyes see oh so clearly
Too focused on my blurry view
No one said this was easy
Just doing what you need to do.

If we knew Him He would ask for
The seat closest to the wall
As you'd enter and covet your view
I wonder if He'd see you fall.

You won't catch me name dropping Jesus
As if He's a personal friend
Yeah I count Him as my Savior
But on me it all will depend.

You see He's not puppeteering
Or causing every drop to fall
He's hoping that we have the good sense
To be able to get through it all.

See, He's told us all how to be here
He's told us all what not to do
But we still seem to forget the fact
Perfection is not even true.

So don't hit me with your wooden Jesus
Don't stab me with ouyr metal cross
My Friend here has left the building
He's carried all the lepers off.

And I think He's somewhere in the distance
Taking needles from somebody's arm
While you are still spitting at the fallen
Telling people they're so fucking gone.

And I think I saw Him grabbing razors
Hungrily waiting for their newest prey
But you say the bitten, cut up
Will burn until judgement day.

Oh it must be great to be a winner
Yet He counts all the losers more
He tells us we are higher
When we get our asses off the loft.

Shit, it must be really great to be you
I wonder what the hell you do
Cause you've got no cause to enter into
You've accomplished all there is to do.

And I know He's somewhere far from
All that we think is blond and blue
Yet my heart cannot get away from
The white bred perfect golden view.

I think I'll just have to be quiet
And count myself lucky to
Have just a little inkling
And not be totally without a clue.

He's looking in the hidden closet
He's scoping every corner too
He's never even dropping God's name
Though He has every right to do...................


(some rambling thoughts.......)

My Jesus looks like Jeffrey Hunter.................(didn't he kill himself???????)

If you're a Christian, why don't I see Christ when I look at you???????

Hey! Temple of the Dog has Wooden Jesus...

Wooden jesus where are you from
Korea or canada or maybe taiwan
I didnt know it was the holy land
But I believed from the minute
The check left my hand, and I pray

Can I be saved, I spent all my money
On a future grave
Wooden jesus Ill cut you in
On twenty percent of my future sin

Porcelain mary her majesties pure
Looking for virgin territory
Coat hanger halos dont come cheap
From television shepherds with living room
Sheep, and I pray

Can I be saved, I spent all my money
On a future grave
Wooden jesus Ill cut you in
On twenty percent of my future sin

writersu

oh no.......

I truly never listened to that song although I do own Temple of the Dog....

it totally makes sense though why it seemed so catchy to me, the title that is. should I change the title??? what do you think?

yeah, I like it too but not as well as mother love bone.......(off subject but I can't seem to refer to one without comparing it to the other even though they are two different bands

---

I guess it is like evolution of PJ or something..........

i'm no fan of mlb. too much Poison for me. TOTD, Soundgarden... those bands were light enough on pop to stomach. They brought back Rock-n-Roll. jmo

wow, I never thought of them like Poison.......Poison was ok, Brett Michaels was hot until I saw him, on reality TV and then wanted to get sick, but watched anyway........but as far as music goes........I didn't like Poison's music.

what do mean like them? How do you mean? I just am curious.......I find the Mother Love Bone songs far deeper than any of Poison's.........

I just wanted to make sure that I cleared something up.

I looked up Jeffrey Hunter's name, he was Jesus in King of Kings which is where I got my image of Jesus .........hence my saying, "my Jesus looks like Jeffrey Hunter....."

I did hear my mom say years ago that he killed himself. but the website i saw him on said he died of a stroke. well complications of a stroke anyway.
so I just wanted to make sure that I was not putting out some crazy untrue gossip. had he clearly ended his own life then my point is is valid to point that out but if not, (which the jury is still out on as far as I am concerned) then I do not wish to say in anyway he did.

just a disclaimer............
