#527. Jesus Christ Is (Gonna Die For You)

Plenty of high profile singers have performed "How Sweet It Is."  Marvin Gaye, James Taylor, Captain & Tenille, Kenny Rogers, Michael Bolton, even Slayer.  

Well perhaps not Slayer.  Regardless, we'll go with this timeless version by Jerry Garcia.

 

Jesus Christ Is (Gonna Die For You)
sonofsaf

Jesus Christ is gonna die for you
Jesus Christ is gonna die for you

The people don’t realize all the harm
You should concur
The people should know the Orange Prolapse is a clown
You should concur

All the blood and commotion
Deep hole fuckin’ and corn holin’
In hell you’ll rot or praise the baby
In hell you’ll rot or praise the baby, fuck you too

Jesus Christ is gonna die for you
Drinkin’ wine
Jesus Christ is gonna die for you

God is black not white
Some do not care about human suffering and strife
Some love the internet’s porn galore
Everywhere they click it’s so much more than hardcore

But let’s enlighten and see how it all plays
It’ll be treat ’til the end of days
In hell you’ll rot or praise the baby
Straight to hell you’ll rot or praise the baby, oh yes

Jesus Christ is gonna die for you
Mother Mary’s sublime
Jesus Christ is gonna die for you

You had better put that bible on a bookshelf
You see, where it’s next to an elf on a shelf
In hell you’ll rot or praise the baby
Straight to hell you’ll rot or praise the baby, oh now

Jesus Christ is gonna die for you
Jesus Christ is gonna die for you
Jesus Christ is gonna die for you
Trump’s pork belly, baby, oh now

Jesus Christ is gonna die for you, oh now
Jesus Christ is gonna die for you
We need money can’t you see baby, yeah now
Na, na, na, gonna die for you
 
 
 
How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)
Jerry Garia

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I needed the shelter of someone's arms
And there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
And there you were

With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank you, baby
I wanna stop and thank you baby, yes I do

How sweet it is to be loved by you
Feels so fine
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before

But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I wanna stop and thank you, baby
I just wanna stop and thank you baby, oh yes

How sweet it is to be loved by you
It's like sugar sometimes
How sweet it is to be loved by you

You were better to me than I was to myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I wanna stop and thank you, baby
I just wanna stop and thank you baby, oh now

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
It's like jelly, baby, oh now

How sweet it is to be loved by you, oh now
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Just like honey to the bee baby, yeah now
Na, na, na, to be loved by you
 
 
 
I never saw the Jerry Garcia Band.  But I did see Jerry Garcia a few times.  Coincidentally, we share the same birthday (August 1).  As if that actually means anything.
