Letra Shepherds sleeping Jacob Diefenbach

Shepherds sleeping

was that the brave thing to do, kicking out a chair?
jesus wore a crown of thorns, but i couldn't see them anywhere.
was that the you thing to do? jesus had a cross.
all you found was mary jane.
and it was just like you to not clean up your mess, and turn us into barbie dolls, seeing who could play pretend the best?
is that just what you wanted?
was that the cool thing to do?
jesus and his mates, had a holy communion of pizza and weed each sunday.
was that all a man was born to do; heaven's gates don't open up for you, so you run away and you piss on the wall?
and was it just like you to not clean up your mess and belittle all the pain we'd feel, because compared to you it must be so much less?
is that just what you wanted?
what does he smell like?
does he tell lies?
did you find that long, grey hair, it sometimes covered his eyes?
were shepherds sleeping on the night that you died?
were his angels just feeling rather tired?
was that the last thing you did, picking out your song, so we could rock rock rock while you knock knock knocked on heaven's door?
yes, it was just like you to not clean up your mess, and to spread it so far back that we can't connect to who we used to be.
is that just what you wanted?
