Lyrics
JOHNNY 3:16
JESUS CAME DOWN FROM THE CLOUDS AT 12:00 NOON
THE HEADLINE IN THE PAPER'S STATES, "MESSIAH TALKING BRAND NEW TRUTH"
AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE I YELLED, "SON A GOD!...WHAT'S THE NEW PSALM?"
HE SAID, "THAT JOHN 3:16 JOKER REALLY GOT IT WRONG"
"IF YA WANNA GET TA HEAVEN!"
SNAP 4 FINGERS THEN YOU TWIST YOUR HIPS
SNAP 4 FINGERS AND TWIST ME OFF YOUR CRUCIFIX
THE PROPHETS AND THE POPE AND THE PREACHERS SAY GET BORN AGAIN
I WISH THEY'D TAKE OFF THEIR ROBES AND STOP LISTENING TO MY OLD MAN
EVERLASTING LIFE, BABY, NOW IT IS SO EASY TO DO
SALVATION OUT YOURSELF BY SHINING UP YOUR FAVOURITE SHOES
"IF YA WANNA GET TA HEAVEN"
JOHNNY 3:16
LIFE EVERLASTING
THEN THE CLOUDS OPENED UP AND HEAVEN'S LIGHT CAME SHINING DOWN
WITH ALL THE SAINTS AND APOSTLES AND THE ANGELS
MAN THEY WAS SOME GOOD LOOKING CROWD
AND AS JESUS ROSE AGAIN, HE LOOKED BACK AND BEGAN TO SAY
"SNAP AWAY YOUR SINS AND TWIST AWAY YOUR JUDGMENT DAY"
"IF YA WANNA GET TA HEAVEN"
