| Jesus, Nixon and Elvis Words: Todd Staudinger Music: Todd Staudinger, Chris Tocco Sitting in this hotel room Watching garbage on the tube Staring at the mess in front of me 30 years been wanderin round Dont know what Ive lost Not sure what Ive found Scratching my head at all the crap Ive seen Weve got Jesus We got Nixon We got Elvis And things aint really what they seem Jesus said hes coming back And Nixons glad hes gone And Elvis wants us all to let him be. Now people say Im misdirected Not focused on the correct perspective I seem to do whatever turns me on Well all I say is what example Can you show thats a decent sample? No heros for a boy to look upon Cuz weve got Jesus We got Nixon We got Elvis And things aint really what they seem Jesus said hes coming back And Nixons glad hes gone And Elvis wants us all to let him be. Now Mama said “Boy you be good when wanderin round the neighborhood Cuz folks remember the bad and not the good” If thats the case then whys the face of my plastic Jesus Not one of disgrace When I play Elvis tapes And read my Nixon books? Cuz weve got Jesus Weve got Nixon Weve got Elvis And things aint really what they seem Jesus said hes coming back And Nixons glad hes gone And Elvis wants us all to let him be. | |
