lyrics

Hey, Jesus Christ is great
I won't say anything else
but man, is that a reason
to grin and laugh all day?
I take a look around
and it just breaks my heart
people dying every day
and suffer far from love

and you grin
and you laugh
because your life is so damn cool

have you been in the streets for a while?
man, I don't even wanna smile

an old dunkard's layin'
right in front of my door
so many people in my quarter
are so goddamn poor
everyday i read about
broken lifes in my town
i can't consider life as great
while all these people drown

well you grin
and you laugh
because you are so richly blessed

have you watched the news in a while?
man, I won't even smile
