Rock N Roll Jesus

(album: Rock N Roll Jesus - 2007)

Turn me up in the headphones

Been a lot of cheap talk but I rock still
From the streets of Shanghai back to Knoxville
Sitting high on a mountain top holding shop spreading the good news
Been a lot of false prophets and quick hits
And a lot of un-American bullshit
But the time has come to settle and the devil's gonna make you choose

And just like a cold wind blowing can you feel me coming for you
Just like a freight train rolling packed tight full of rhythm and blues

Testify
It's a Rock revival
Don't need a suit
You don't need a Bible
Get up and dance
I'm gonna set you free yeah
Testify
It's all sex, drugs, rock'n'roll
A soul sensation that you can't control
And you can see I practice what I preach
I'm your rock-and-roll Jesus
Yes I am

Been a lot of bling bling but it ain't real
And a lot of new kings but I won't kneel
Sitting high on a mountain top, holding shop singing the raw dog blues
Like in old Mississippi's dirty cotton fields
Or in Detroit City's unforgotten wheels
It's the same song spinning but the same song's always been true

And I'm gonna take my roll because I ain't got nothing to lose
And I'm gonna save your soul if it's really what you want me to do

I'm your rock-and-roll Jesus
