JESUS SHOT ME DOWN
Thomas Schoeffler

There’s a Jesus in this town,
He’s like a snake, vicious and cold,
He has a twisted tongue,
Everything’s fake when he’s around.
The Jesus that I loved shot me down !

Son, my mother said,
Go to church, have no glee,
You’ll see if you wait,
The Lord will finally set you free !
The Jesus that I loved shot me down !

End of the game,
Why should I love ?
I’ve lost my name,
Why should I love ?

Nothing moves, nothing changes,
Alleluia round and round,
Nothing moves nothing changes,
Now I’m six feet underground.
The Jesus that I loved shot me down !

A hole, A decade,
What is false became true,
This town forgets,
That his son was passing through,
‘cos the Jesus that I loved shot me down !

End of the game,
Why should I love ?
I’ve lost my name,
Why should I love ?
Now, raise your hand,
Why should I love ?
Now, you’re on your own...

Now, I’m walking in the shade,
I carve my name on doors,
I’m holding my old blade,
You better hold yours !
The Jesus that I loved shot me down !

Son, my mother said,
Go to church, have no glee,
Son, my mother said,
The Lord will finaly set you free !
The Jesus that I loved shot me down !

End of the game,
Why should I love ?
I’ve lost my name,
Why should I love ?
Now, raise your hand,
Why should I love ?
Now, you’re on your own...
