The Ruling Class: Jeff Tweedy Singing about Jesus

April 07, 2017 Leave a Comment

If it’s Friday, it must be time for some sacred weekend music to share with you. Today, some musical reflections on the return of Jesus. A new tax bracket? Smoking crack? Getting down? What would Jesus do?

He resurfaced on the sidewalk on my block the other day
Yeah it’s a fact, check it sorry charlie honey he’s back from LA
So son you better turn it around, yeah Christ is on his way across town
He was gettin’ tired of hangin’ around
Yeah he’s back jack, smokin’ crack, find him if you wanna get found

He’s having supper with the upper management of a new regime
He’s in a new jacket, tax bracket, sandals and a dark pair of jeans
He’s got deductions right on down the line
Dependent claims on all of my mankind
Have no fear he’s right here drinking beer just trying to get down

He resurfaced on the sidewalk on my block the other day
Yeah it’s a fact, check it–sorry charlie honey he’s back from the grave
You better turn your frown upside down, yeah Christ is on his way across town
He was gettin’ tired of hangin’ around
Yeah he’s back jack, shootin’ smack, find him if you wanna get down
Yeah he’s back jack, smokin’ crack, find him if you wanna get found
