Intro: verse 1 Well, some days you wake up And life feels meaningless You don’t even have the strength To get up and get dressed Then when you do, you see your Clothes are all torn to shreds And you can’t even afford to buy A needle and thread So, you might go to church to Bow your head and pray But that ain’t always enough to Get through the day Sometimes you’ll feel bitter, you’ll Say that this priest is a mooch And you might just take all of Your tithes with a bottle of hooch chorus And if people knew, they would Look down on you Don’t they know that it’s true? Jesus was a wino, too verse 2 People may ask, “why have your Lips turned black?” “hey, what the hell is so funny, Man? why have your eyes gone Slack?“ They might feel high and mighty When i can barely stand Well, just tell them i couldn’t turn Down one my glass of the blood Of the lamb chorus Because if people knew, they Would call me a fool I wish they knew it was true: Jesus was a wino, too was a wino too chorus Because if people knew, they Would call me a fool I wish they knew it was true: Jesus was a wino, too verse 3 And this here six-dollar bottle is Just about that all i can afford If i can’t find a corkscrew, i’ll just Smash it open right here on the Floor And you might call me crazy for Lapping this off the ground But a few years ago i would be Drinking with jesus right now ‘cause they may not have had Carlo rossi way back in his day Jesus had only water but he Turned it to wine anyway chorus And nobody asked, “what would Jesus do?” ‘cause everybody knew jesus Was a wino, too No, nobody asked, “what would Jesus do?” ‘cause everybody knew jesus Was a wino, too Ah huhhhhhh ah huh
