You can't truthfully

Be anything you want to be

Conditions apply

To most of us

If you really

Insist on being a somebody

Why don't you try to be Jesus

We'd all like to be

A venerated VIP

Why not try something

Far less ambitious

It's easy and free

And you don't have to be no deity

Why not just try to be Jesus

You can't be a religious leader if your female

You can't be in the lucky country if your skin ain't pale

You can't be educated if you don't pay fees

You can't be celebrity rated if your ugly

You can't be popular if your original

You can't be a corporate climber if you like people

Your chances are looking sorta rough

But being Jesus well that's easy stuff

He'd never make

The thin review of who's who

He was just helpin' folks

Never made much fuss

Do something good

When there's nothing in it for you

Maybe you might just be Jesus

Who needs religion be Jesus

Dont be a Christian be Jesus
