Lexus Jesus (Joe Pinson, ASCAP)

1.  I was sittin’ in a line of rush hour traffic –
waitin’ for the light to turn green.
On the back of the car just in front of me was
somethin’ I’d never seen.
There beside the make in similar letters
was a name that most people know.
As I moved ahead,
I wondered
just how far this new religion might go.

Chorus:  Lexus Jesus, Lexus Jesus,
You’re totally cool and far removed
from anything the smacks of strife.
Lexus Jesus, Lexus Jesus,
You’re the kind of Lord I’d like to let to let into my life.

2.  The Good Book tells about how you said
“Come and follow me.”
Then it tells how those so-called friends of yours
nailed you to a tree.
The Lexus Church tries to avoid sayin’ too much about that.
They worship the Jesus in the fancy silk robes –
the ones that hide all the fat.    

Repeat Chorus

3.  Holy, holy, holy. –  Hear the people shout and sing.
Build a bigger sanctuary - this circus needs another ring.
Don’t worry about the folks who are poor and hungry.  
They’re gonna be all right.
We know the Salvation Army will take them in,
if they sleep on the street tonight.  

Repeat Chorus
   
4. Go out and save the sinners - like fishermen catching fish.
No need to be a foreign missionary,
just get a bigger satelite dish.
Don't worry about the folks who live next door.
They're prob'ly gonna be okay.
If they get into some real big trouble,
maybe they'll move away.

Repeat Chorus
