Basically a very nice guy
And of course he had to die
He told people to love each other
A big mistake he soon discovered
To the public he did appeal
A figurehead for twisted ideals
It was really not his fault
The start of a global Christian assault
Jesus swallows all your sins
Jesus swallows everything
Jesus swallows all your soul
It's a kind of thought control
He hung out with lepers and whores
Made wine and spoke in metaphors
He was gifted, he was cool
He invented easter and yule
Claimed to be the son of god
He went too far, he was outlawed
He actually died for you and me
Just to prove how cool he could be
Jesus swallows all your sins
Jesus swallows everything
Jesus swallows all your soul
It's a kind of thought control
Jesus swallows!
His followers lost their cool
His name became a tyranny tool
As a sinner you had to pay
To stay alive one more day
Millions killed in his name
We'll keep it in the hall of fame
Christianity's spread like a plague
And I prefer to stay a pagan
Christianity's spread like a plague
And I prefer to be a pagan
Jesus swallows all your sins
Jesus swallows everything
Jesus swallows all your soul
It's a kind of thought control
Odin!
Jesus wept when you guys were drunk
And sticking needles in each others' arms
And Jesus wept
Jesus swallows all your sins
Jesus swallows everything
Jesus swallows all your soul
It's a kind of thought control
Jesus swallows!
