I HAVE FORGIVEN JESUS

Esta es la letra mas fuerte que he leído en una canción:


I HAVE FORGIVEN JESUS

I was a good kid
I wouldn’t do you no harm
I was a nice kid
with a nice paper-round
Forgive me any pain
I may have brung to you
With God’s help I know
I’ll always be near to you
but Jesus hurt me
When He deserted me / but
I have forgiven Jesus
for all the desire
He placed in me
when there’s nothing I can do with this desire
I was good kid
through hail and snow / I’d go
just to moon you
I carried my heart in my hand
- do you understand?
- do you understand?
but Jesus hurt me
when He deserted me / but
I have forgiven Jesus
for all of the love / he placed in me
when there’s no one I can turn to with this love
Monday-humiliation / Tuesday-suffocation
Wednesday-condescension / Thursday-is…pathetic
by Friday-Life has killed me
by Friday-Life has killed me
why did you give me /so much desire?
when there is nowhere I can go
to offload this desire?
and why did you give me so much love
in a loveless world?
when there is no one I can turn to
to unlock all this love
and why did you stick me in
self-deprecating bones and skin
Jesus-do you hate me?
why did you stick me in
self-deprecating bones and skin
… … do you hate me?
