Little Help Please
Speck
Thanks to Kara Square for the banjolele track and the inspiration.
I added tongue drum and harmonica.
And these words:
C’mon Jesus, c’mon back
Come back for a visit
Maybe you can help us get back on track
Help us figure out what is it
Are we stupid, are we sick
or are we just plain mean
What would it take, how could you teach us
to be a little better at being
Come to think of it things weren’t all that great
the last time you were here
Maybe don’t bother trying to fix the hate
We probably haven’t got a prayer
We don’t seem to give a damn about compassion
no respect for rational thought
I don’t even think we deserve a savior
our behavior recommends us for naught
Given a chance at the land of milk and honey
we’d probably turn it down
When we got to the gate and they said sorry no money
we’d probably turn right back around
I have very little hope that it’s gonna get better
or that mankind will figure it out
If there really is a god won’t somebody go get her
It’s not the time to leave her out
I think we really could use a supreme moderator
to put us in our place
Somebody all knowing, a lover not a hater
to salvage the human race
So c’mon Jesus, c’mon back
even if just for a while
Maybe you can help us to get on track
and to not be so infantile
Yeah we’re stupid and yes we’re sick
and plenty of us are just plain mean
and I wouldn’t blame you if you refused my invitation
based on everything you’ve seen
