Jesus Was a Terrorist Lyrics

Jesus was a terrorist
Enemy of the state
That's what the Romans labeled him
So he was put to death

He died for his beliefs
What's changed today?

Today bible-thumping cannibals
Reap money from his name
Buy cable networks & power
With old ladies' checks

If Jesus saw Pat Robertson
What do you think he'd say?
Tax free then re-write our laws
And sick 'em on you
Women don't control their bodies
TV preachers do

Censor everything from bathing suits
To science books
From the schoolroom to the bedroom
They want our thoughts - or else

They treat us like the Romans
Used to treat the Christians
Even some church-going folks are scared

Modern catacombs of fear
Built with money, power, and threats
Rock 'n Roll is labeled porn
Sell a record, you're under arrest

Instead of fighting AIDS
They try to stop us having sex
They brag that they won't quit
Till they take dominion over our lives

Is freedom of speech such a terrorist act
Is spiritual peace such a satanic threat
Believe what you want
But we'll fight to keep
Our heads from being cemented in your sand

Jesus was censored, persecuted, and killed for his radical beliefs and yet today's loudmouthed Christians are the one's persecuting everyone else. Jesus was also supposedly a preacher of tolerance, and yet Pat Roberts and gang are some of the most intolerant One of the ultimate ironies of today's society.

Alright, I found out that this is not actually by the Dead Kennedys, but by Jello Biafra and No Means No. That's why I couldn't find it before.

Jesus taught tolerance and love for ALL your neighbors of ALL races, colors, ual orientations, and religions. And as Baller said, it is indeed one of the ironies of today's society....P.S. ....Pat Roberts is the devil incarnate.
