From Live At Flevo With Q-stone, but with some of the crowd noise removed at the end

lyrics

Why don't you look into Jesus? He's got the answer [Spoken]

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

You got gonorrhea on Valentine’s day VD, AIDS
You're still looking for the perfect lay
You think rock and roll will set you free
Ow you'll be deaf before you're thirty three
A-shooting junk till you're half insane
A broken needle in your purple vein
Why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer

Work all night
Sleep all day
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

A-think back to when you were a small 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
Things have changed, you're much older now
If you're unhappy and you don't know how
Then why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer

You oughta check it for yourself
Look into Jesus (He's got the answer) He's mighty good, yes he does
(Why don't you look into Jesus, he's got the answer) Take a look, take a look
Why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer
Oh yes he does, I know he does
Because he gave it to me, he showed it to me
He is, you knows he is, you got
He is the the answer
Yeh-eh-yeah
