They Should Read the Book - Original song by Cal Jennings

Performed by Cal-el (Cal Jennings) Click (more) for lyrics

They're tellin' me I must fight for Jesus
I can't live that lie no matter who it pleases
Jesus said to turn the other cheek
They say take up arms and kill a man
Because he has some oil in Iran
But that excuse to me is too darn weak

They say killing's patriotic
But I think they're neurotic
Sewing hate in the name of God
I won't accept their evil seed
Selling Jesus' name for greed
Whoever would I think is rather odd

Chorus
Oh they should read the book they're preachin'
Oh they should see how Jesus lived
His follwers weren't rich, you see
Just average folks like you and me
Preachin' love and peace to everyone

If you think health care is a plot
I'll tell you you're full of rot
Jesus Christ healed everyone for free
Jesus taught people to share
Breaking loaves and fish with care
There was enough for everybody there

(Chorus)

Jesus loved the birds and flowers
He did not abuse his powers
I don't think he'd drive an SUV
He didn't demand tithes for preachin'
He sold tends and wasn't leachin'
Like all those preachers you hear on TV

He wouldn't take out tons of loanses
Trying' to keep up with the Joneses
Jesus said to live day by day
He wouldn't call girls hos and bitches
He wouldn't cause his brother stitches
Integrity and truth were his way

(Chorus)
