Selling Jesus Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You kill me with your smelly fingers
Your smelly fingers from the sex you had on Christmas Day
And now you say you're feeling guilty
You're feeling guilty 'cause your god was shining on your face

You go to church and light a candle
And then you're blinded by the light from all the golden pews
The devil's snapping at your toes now
Because the angels can't be bothered to live up to you

[Chorus]
They're selling Jesus again
They're selling Jesus again
They want your soul and your money
Your blood and your bones
They're selling Jesus again
Selling love to you
Selling love

[Verse 2]
You're buying this, you're buying that now
You're wishing all the money in the world belonged to you
You're crucified upon your own cross now
You're givin' money to the white men in the white limo
That kind of god is always man-made
They made him up then wrote a book to keep you on your knees
They get their theories from the same place
Then build a church if there's some money left
From lying on the beach

[Chorus]
They're selling Jesus again
They're selling Jesus again
They want your soul and your money
Your blood and your bones
They're selling Jesus again
Selling love to you
Selling love

[Post-Chorus]
Love
Love
Love
Love

[Bridge]
And they're selling Jesus
And they're selling Jesus
And they're selling Jesus
And they're selling Jesus
And they're selling Jesus
And they're selling Jesus
And they're selling Jesus again
[Chorus]
They're selling Jesus again
They're selling Jesus again
They want your soul and your money
Your blood and your bones

They're selling Jesus again
They're selling Jesus again
They want your soul and your money
Your blood and your bones
They're selling Jesus again
Selling love to you
Selling love

[Outro]
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love

Love!
Love!
Love!
Love!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
