There's no reason to repent
Christmas day is heaven sent

If I were Jesus and swords were plows
My every spoken word would be sacred cows
Yeah, if I were Jesus
Come the seekers for a holy cause
I'd have tham all tracking down Santa Claus
Yeah, if I were Jesus
oh Messiah
I'd round up the evangelists
make them clean their leaflets
take a holy meeting with the holy see
Leave him wearing a sign that reads let it be

If I were Jesus I'd trim the zeal
cause all those zealots got a greasy feel
I said, whoa, if I were Jesus
Eve of Christmas  Christmas day
Say a little prayer and send it on its way
Ho ho If I were Jesus
oh Messiah
I'd round up every holy fool
and set their minds to freedom
Take the one that's gilded gold
Just strap it on and let it roll
I'd find the ark of Moses' laws
I'd blow it all to pieces
To walk the earth, to gaze the stars,
The perfect place to play guitars

If I were Jesus and you thought like me
You'd never want an ending to the mystery
And you know I may yet you know I might
Step on the big blue globe in the yellow light

And yes I'd fall  we all do
But I'd promise there would always be a place for you
With Einstein Gunga Di(ee)n and Captain Kidd
Just kicking back and sharing half a lid
There ain't no wants and so there ain't no list
Christmas day returning is your only wish
