"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 own
Tears on your face
A warm embrace
Throw 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 it
How 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 fine
Tears on your face
A warm embrace
The look on your face
Throw 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 it
No 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
