Jesus And John Wayne

[Verse 1] I liked the teachings of Jesus so much That I followed him right out the door When steeples kept preachin' with hate on their tongues And distaste for the meek, mild and poor [Pre-Chorus] And God felt my heart give it away You can have both of 'em, Jesus and John Wayne What a fucking shame What a fucking shame [Chorus] And I lay me down The sacrifice had to be made And I'm emptied out I've given all that you can take Like Jesus and John Wayne [Verse 2] What a devastation, a deep separation A chasm of heart, head, and soul And they'll cursе why I'm leaving Blame my unbeliеving But Lord knows I didn't wanna go [Pre-Chorus] And God felt my heart splinter and break You can have both of em, Jesus and John Wayne What a fucking shame What a fucking waste [Chorus] And I lay me down The sacrifice had to be made And I'm emptied out I've given all that you can take Like Jesus and John Wayne [Post-Chorus] And for the life of me, I forget All the times that Jesus said [Bridge] Blessed are the war makers Blessed are the black in heart Blessed are the politicians Blessed are the patriarchs Blessed are the gold takers Blessed skin like porcelain Blessed is America, but only for Americans Blessed are the war makers Blessed are the black in heart Blessed are the politicians Blessed are the patriarchs Blessed are the gold takers Blessed skin like porcelain Blessed is America, but only for Americans [Outro] And if I had to admit Jesus wouldn't really fit With everything you're trying to do with him
