lyrics

Well the resurrection has been cancelled
The rapture has been postponed
There's no one kicking inside that tomb
So don't bother to roll that stone

Well you know Lazarus had a good run
But now he's bleeding out from the ears
Yeah and Jesus stays dead this year (repeat title as needed)

Don't you try to walk on water
You'll only end up wet
Gorge on the blood leave the body for lunch
And you'll be in a fevered sweat

Shut yourself up tight inside your hole
With a ten year supply of canned beans and booze
Clutch your rifle and wait for a knock on the door
Shoot to kill if they come to tell you the Good News

Who will hear my confession?
Whisper it into an old tin can
Fill a bag up with gravel
Go out wading in my socks till I lose sight of land

Well the world's not ending it's just on hiatus
Go on and wash away those tears
Cause just this once and never again
You know Jesus stays dead this year
Nobody coming to take the wheel
Because Jesus stays dead this year

The Great Joe Bivins Orlando, Florida

Eight feet tall if he were an inch! Arms like two great tree trunks with hair like a fiery-brown mane of a lion that'd been kinda sick! Scraggly multicolored beard that granted wishes! Wishes with IRONIC CONSEQUENCES! With a voice like a great grizzly bear if bears were really good singers! Oh I seen him, doncha tell me I didn't see him with Paul Revere ringin' them bells! ... more
