Jesus was an Atheist He was a friend of mine We hooked up in temple Back in Roman Palestine We became friends It was the best of both worlds I was good at stealing silver He was good at bullyin' girls He said they're going to kill me When we go out smokin' I thought he meant the cigarettes But Jesus wasn't jokin' Mary was a pragmatist And virgin rolled in one One day she said to Joseph "Joe, I think the time has come Your boy needs to get a job Try the laundromat" Joseph said, "he ain't my boy I think we settled that" Mary said something about Semantics with a smile Joe said, "I'm going drinkin' I'll be back in a little while" I heard somebody say Jesus was a Capricorn Jesus told me once On the day he was born A giant super nova exploded in the sky He said he didn't know What it was supposed to signify I lost touch with him And he lost touch with me The next thing I remember He was big in Galilee We were walkin' in the desert Trading big hits from a bong They said it was 40 days It didn't seem that long I was trying to talk him out Of such a pointless sacrifice He said it was the only way He got to paradise I said, "You might be high" He said I was mistaken But watching him die Was truly heartbreakin' Jesus descended I guess you'd call it that I'm down here, baby What the hell you lookin' at? I sometimes wonder if we'd stay friends How am I to change the way This party ends? I know you all believe That Jesus was divine Jesus was an atheist He was a friend of mine
