Lyrics: Jesus Was a Blues Man

It’s hard to be a shepherd I could never be a Saint
As I watch the self-righteous disguise their hate
It’s all lies and deception as they cast the first stone
They hide out in the open ’til they catch you all alone
You gotta keep living do the best that you can
There’s no consolation
Jesus was a blues man
Jesus was a blues man

There’s a man on the street with a scar on his chest
Where a bullet went in but never came to rest
His battle rages on he’s got demons in his glare
But he can’t walk away he’s got wheels on his chair
He fought for our freedom now no one gives a damn
There’s no consolation
Jesus was a blues man
Jesus was a blues man

Single mom in Mississippi with her life in despair
Mailed her last twenty dollars to some preacher for a prayer
She’s down on her knees at the end of her rope
Comfort lies cold in televised hope
They’d hang her on a cross just to get what they can
There’s no consolation
Jesus was a blues man
Jesus was a blues man
