Talking Resurrection Blues Larry Spears I had a dream last night and it seemed so real When I woke up it affected me still Dreamed Jesus came back he was resurrected Started to preachin’ and got arrested Cops said you ain’t got no I.D. He said I’m the Son of God come from Galilee So they threw him in jail, gave him bread & water Then they gave him a court appointed lawyer The D.A. said what you need to do Is turn in all your friends we’ll go easy on you Jesus said I ain’t got no friends Had some once but they did me in They gave me a real nice last supper though Bread & wine and a big floor show Then they nailed me to a board Judas Iscariot turned on me, he got his reward He said I been back a couple times before In the middle of what they called a holy war Holy war now there’s an oxymoron He figured thou shalt not kill was clear enough for anyone Words written in stone how much plainer could it be Killing in the name of God is like lying for the sake of honesty Don’t you think if God wanted somebody whacked he could do it himself He don’t need no idiots with guns or suicide bombers to help And he don’t need your hard earned money either You can’t buy a ticket to Heaven from a televangelist snake oil dealer
