David Wilcox Jesus` Mom Lyrics

Jesus` Mom Lyrics

"Wake up!" she said, "you dreaming fool,
don't throw your life
away.
Because life's too short and you're too smart
to want to hurt
yourself that way.

And what's this talk about the fellow man?
Look,
it's catch as catch can, understand?
You muscle and struggle and get what
you can
or you'll never get anywhere at all, young man.

And what's
this talk about loving everybody
and trying to be a neighbor and helping out
your brother?
Oh, fine and dandy, but you're getting a little carried
away,"
is what she'd say.

She said, "I'm not saying that
love ain't fine,
but every little thing's got it's place and time.
Now
there's people out there who want what's mine,
and they're going to try to
take it away.

So save your love for those who care,
and buy some
clothes and wash your hair.
Just relax and don't you dare
start dreaming
about saving the world."

And Jesus said, "Yes mom."
