Mean Looking Jesus

[Verse 1]
They say to turn the other cheek
But I'm flat down to bone
I try to lay me down to sleep
And I pray when I'm alone
But sleep won't come
My prayers are no more comfort from the cold
All I want is someone's hand to hold

[Verse 2]
I thought God was love
And Jesus had the most of all
But the look there in his beady eyes
Could make a strong man crawl
I did my best to follow
Shepherd, sheep, the Father's call
That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall

[Chorus]
That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall
He's not gonna save you, and He won't come when you call
Hanging from that marble cross, glaring down the hall
That's a mean looking Jesus, a mean looking Jesus
That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall

[Verse 3]
The piano's on its side now
The carpet is a mess
Picture that you hung so proud
Your graduation dress
But you keep calling out His name
Who left you in this squall
And that's a mean looking Jesus on your wall

[Chorus]
That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall
He's not gonna save you and He won't come when you call
Hanging from that marble cross, glaring down the hall
That's a mean looking Jesus, a mean looking Jesus
That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall

[Bridge]
God so loved the world
God so loved the world

[Verse 4]
In the end the darkness
In the end despair
Everything you learned by rote
Will leave you hanging there
And yes, He is mysterious
Who never saved you yet
Why He has forsaken you is anybody's bet

[Chorus]
That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall
He's not gonna save you and He won't come when you call
Hanging from that marble cross, glaring down the hall
That's a mean looking Jesus, a mean looking Jesus
A mean looking Jesus on your wall
That's a mean looking Jesus, a mean looking Jesus
That's a mean looking Jesus on your wall
