lyrics

v.1
You saw Jesus hungry … gave him no bread
Thirsty and you gave him no drink, that’s what he said
A refugee whose suffering you chose not to assuage
You threw him in an icebox, and his children in a cage

Chorus:
I don’t know how to tell you you should care
Perhaps a psychic surgeon practicing somewhere
could somehow bring your conscience to a state of good repair
perform an empathy implant, put a kinder soul in there
I don’t know how to tell you you should care

v.2
Jesus was a stranger… you didn’t take him in
Didn’t like his zip code or the color of his skin
It’s clear how you decide on just who merits human rights
But it’s cute you love the bible and you call yourself pro-life

Bridge:
What avails your precious privilege in the falsehoods where you dwell
Those unlike you are people but if you’ve convinced yourself
That they’re not really human then I guess it’s good and well
You vote for concentration camps and other people’s hell
