lyrics

When I was 20 Jesus was 12
When I was 20 Jesus was 12
I quit being straight-edge studying in Spain
While Jesus was at home playing tag and drinking Tang

When I was 33 Jesus was 25
I was working three jobs he was only working one part-time
He kept telling us to give it all away
While his gas credit card still got paid in his mom’s name

But I was a teenager too
Suffering and so into it
Insufferable and so ignorant
I also tripped up on the truth
Jesus Chris you weren’t innocent
Oh did you think I was so different from you?

From you? Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh from you

Magical fate and the circle of life
Went on a date and I got myself a wife
We had a bunch of kids and we ate a lot of ice cream
And the years went by in a frozen dairy dream

Now I’m 41 and Jesus is dying
Strung up overhead and it’s no use crying
‘Cause the rest of us still have to keep on going
Doing nothing, all done growing
Tired of knowing it, and
Bored of trying

But once upon a time…

I was a teenager too
Suffering and so into it
Insufferable and so ignorant
I also tripped up on the truth
Jesus Chris you weren’t innocent
Oh did you think I was so different from you?

Oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh I was I was

I was a teenager too
Suffering and so into it
Insufferable and so ignorant ooh ooh
I also tripped up on the truth
Jesus Chris you weren’t innocent
Oh did you think I was so different from you?
