Resurrection Blues

We all got to die
But some people
Some people
Some people got to suffer before they die
This about a man
He's gonna be crucified
Some people die of cancer
Some people die of AIDS
But this man's gonna be crucified
I woke up this morning
In a deep deep
A deep sleep
I found out
I found out
I found out
I was Jesus
I don't want to be crucified
Don't want
Thorns on my head
I Don't want
Walk among the dead
I don't want to be
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
I woke up this morning
From a deep deep
A deep sleep
I found out
I found out
Found out
I was Jesus
I can't break bread
Feed a thousand people
Turn sweet water
Into wine
I've been on this earth
Too long of a time
Don't want to be
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
I woke up this morning
From a deep deep
A deep deep
Deep sleep
I found out
I found out
I found out
I was Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
