Story behind the song
With a nod to the Byrds rendition of Jesus is Just All Right with Me, and with an appreciation for the poor showing of Trump endorsed candidates, especially here in PA. in the 2022 midterm election, a little hymn for the Orange Jesus himself.
Lyrics
V1Now Roger said that Jesus was just all right with him
But these days crowds for Jesus have gotten pretty slim
There aren’t so many out there who would turn the other cheek
Those plotting to inherit earth are anything but meek
ch1They’ll follow Orange Jesus believing every word
C G A D
Blind to the hateful things he does however so absurd,
G D
Follow Orange Jesus, on down the rabbit hole,
C G D
Drink the Orange Kool-Aid, to soothe your troubled soul
G D
Don’t feel you need to locate your hate high up on a shelf, or
C G A D G
Could it be that Orange Jesus cares only for himself?
V2 That former Byrd has left the nest, no longer so well known
Eight miles high he turn turn turned, with tambourine he’s flown. Orange
Jesus will not leave us, I hope we’ll live to see the day
When his chickens all come home to roost and he will have to pay
ch 2The Orange Jesus gospel is hardly ever true, but
It’s not nearly half as bad as the things he asks of you
Don’t follow Orange Jesus on down the rabbit hole
Don’t drink the orange Kool-Aid to soothe your troubled soul
It’s better if you lose your hate up on that remote shelf
Where very Orange Jesus thinks only of himself.
