Under Bridges lyrics

Song information

Artist: Brave Saint Saturn
Album: So Far From Home

Lyrics

Yesterday while walking
Beneath an overpass
I saw the figure of jesus
Standing barefoot on broken glass
His beard was graying
The smell of urine filled the air
Asking if I had some change
Anything that I could spare

Emaciated
His shaking fists balled up
Influenza and pneumonia
Begging god to take his cup
So different from his pictures
Breathing air through yellowed tubes
Jesus christ, dying of aids
Can look right through you

And all have hated
Crucified and walked away
The savior of the prostitutes
Drunkards, rapists, and the gays

Under bridges
With hands raised
From the ghettos they praise his name
Broke and crippled in the dark of night
Raise your voices to jesus christ
Hallelujah
