lyrics

Sipping whiskey from a paper cup
You drown your sorrow till you can't stand up
Take a look at what you've 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 ya look into Jesus
He got the answer

Gonorrhea on Valentine's day
And you're still looking for the perfect lay
You think rock and roll will set you free
You'll be deaf before you're thirty three
You're shooting junk till you're half insane
Broken needle in your purple vein
Why don't you look into Jesus
He got the answer

Sleep all night
Work all day
Take your money
Throw it all away
Say you're gonna be a superstar
But you never hung around enough
To find out who you really are

Think back to when you were a child
Your soul was free, your heart ran wild
Each day was different, 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

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

Yes he does, yes he does
He's got the answer
Why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer
He's got the answer
Ye-yeah yeah yeah oh
