Jesus on TV Lyrics

I'm waiting for
Justice for all
People to rise
Empires to fall

The way we're going on our last days we'll see
Live via satellite
Jesus on TV

A time of change
We understand
An age of peace
That we began

The way we're going on our last days we'll see
Live via satellite
Jesus on TV

And when we look
But we don't see
In terms of race
Sex or belief

The way we're going on our last days we'll see
Live via satellite
Jesus on TV

I'm waiting for a better day
I'm waiting for a job that pays
I'm waiting for some cleaner air
I'm waiting for someone to care
One thing I don't want to see
Is a network Jesus on TV

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Written during a time when there was a lot of religious scandals going on in the world, the singer is fed up with things getting worse and then getting a placebo shoved in his face. He wants real change, not something to make him feel better without real change.
