Verge of Blasphemy

If Jesus were alive today
He’d be a rock star
Not sure what instrument he’d play
But he would go far
He’d be punk or better yet
80s metal
He’d be huge, and you can bet
He’d be on TRL
His songs would be about love, peace, and harmony
Fundamentalists would say he’s on the verge of blasphemy
Peter’d play guitar with James on bass, off key.
Now I guess it’s me who’s on the verge of blasphemy.
But really, if you will,
Is it that insane?
To think the Lamb, with all his skill,
Wouldn’t utilize that fame
To spread the Good Word
Like he did back in the day
On a nationwide tour
It’s the American way!!!
He’d give us the MTV version of a homily
The elderly would say he’s on the verge of blasphemy
He’d rock out on the stage, like a holy Tommy Lee
Now I guess it’s me who’s on the verge of blasphemy
His riffs could cure the sick, make the blind finally see
But still someone will say he’s on the verge of blasphemy
Every Christmas, there’d be a Woodstockesque jubilee.
Now I guess it’s me who’s on the verge of blasphemy.
Now I guess it’s me who’s on the verge of blasphemy.
Now I guess it’s me who’s on the verge of blasphemy.
