Plastic Jesus Lyrics

Plastic Jesus
Jack Johnson
i dont care if it rains or freezes
as long as i've got my plastic jesus
sitting on the dashboard of my car
it comes in colours pink and pleasant
it glows in the dark cause its iradescent
i'll take it with me whenever i go far
so give me my lady madonna
dressed in rhinestones and sittin on a
pedestal of abalone shells
drivin 90 but im not scared
because i've got my virgin mary
assuring me that i will never go to hell

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.

meaning, I can do whatever I want because I believe in jesus and I show it buy having artificial things like a cross or a plastic jesus to show my faith. So in having these things..like going to church makes it okay for him to do dumb wrong shit! FAKE..good lesson for your people controled by your religion!
