about

Talking acoustic folk song a la Woody Guthrie; absurd tale of a modern-day Jesus aimed at Christians who misuse religion to support political positions He would abhor.

lyrics

WHAT WOULD JESUS DO
Gerry Spehar

Jesus moved to Texas, Jesus bought a gun
Filled it full of bullets in case He had to shoot someone
Jesus joined a church and started preachin' every Sunday
The other six He built a wall to keep refugees away
Cause Jesus had investments, and Jesus had healthcare
And he didn't want 'em suckin' all that money from his share
But Jesus had an iPhone and Jesus had to eat
So he didn't mind em workin' over there and workin' cheap
And if they got sick or if they died, Jesus didn't care
He just didn't want em dodgin' taxes and on welfare over here

What would Jesus do?

Jesus preached the filthy rich shall inherit the whole earth
Said they deserve to own it all by accident of birth
But Jesus did His part for the poor and for the meek
He put five bucks in the basket, then turned His other cheek
Walked up to the pulpit and preached trickle down
To all the jobless paupers on the other side of town
Cause Jesus needed votes and He knew they'd like that sound
When He ran for office in the next go around
And Jesus joined the NRA and always paid His dues
Cause Jesus knew to win, He's gonna need their votes, too

What would Jesus do?

Would Jesus build a wall?
Would Jesus wear a gun?
Would He turn hungry little kids away?
Would Jesus vote for Trump?
Would He cut taxes on the rich and leave the poor without healthcare?

What would Jesus do?
