A comment on the endless poor old ‘idols’ dished up by the media.

lyrics

(NOT) THE NEXT JESUS - LYRICS P. PASCOE
Well we found someone to listen to, to follow and to hound
We wonder: is this him or her - what have we found?
We echo back the joys, then discard them like used toys
The second they drop the ball.

Well the newspapers and internet proclaim they’re gods
-got fantastic voices, wives and bods
We’d love to look like them, so special, 10 out of 10
Uh oh, here’s a poppy, oh so tall.

Then we knock em down to pieces frustration doubt increases
What more to do to please us? When we find out they’re not the next Jesus

Who’d raise their head above the mob
To risk them finding out this guys not god – he’s bob
He’s got a favourite cat, doesn’t look great in a hat
Especially when he takes a fall

Damned and drugged and dragged across the coals
Only there’s no resurrection-only more disaffection not the next Jesus

Then we knock ‘em down to pieces frustration doubt increases
What more to do to please us? When we find out they’re not the next Jesus
