lyrics

[Coughs]

Sipping whiskey from a paper cup
You drown your sorrows till you can't stand up
Take a look at what you done to yourself
Why don't you put the bottle back on the shelf
Yellow fingered from your cigarettes
Your hands are shaking while your body sweats
Why don't you look into Jesus
He got the answer

Now think back to when you were a child
Your soul was free your heart ran wild
Each day was different and life was a thrill
You knew tomorrow would be better still
But things have changed, you're much older now
If you're unhappy and you don't know how
Why don't you look into Jesus
He got the answer

Work all night, sleep all day hey
You take your money, throw it all away
You say you're gonna be a superstar
But you never hung around enough
To find out who you really are

Take a look, take a look

Why don't you look into Jesus
He got the answer
Yes he does, yes he does
Why don't you look into Jesus
He got the answer
You oughta check it for yourself
Look into Jesus
He got the answer
