lyrics

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, you put the bottle back on the shelf
Yellow fingers from your cigarettes
Your hands are shaking while your body sweats
Now why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer yeah
Woh

Yeah yeah yeah
A-gonorrhea on Valentine’s day, VD
And you're still looking for the perfect lay
You think that rock and roll will set you free
You'll be deaf before you're thirty three, just like me
You're shooting junk until you're half insane
A broken needle in your purple vein
Now why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer
Yeah eh eh

You 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 a-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
Then why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer
Yeah yeah yeah

Why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer
Yes you know he does
Why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer
Why why why oh why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer oh oh oh
He's got the, he's got the
He's got the, he's got the
He is the, he is the
You need the, you need the
He's got the answer

​Thank you, thank you [Spoken]
