Jesus rides the subway
With the junkies and the freaks
Jesus rides the subway
With the hustlers and the creaps
He rubs shoulders with the thieves
And he looks a lot like everyone he sees
Yeah, Jesus rides the subway
While the pretty people sleep
And he says,
You can lay your burden down
You can lay your burden down
O maybe you been kicked around
You can lay your burden down
Jesus strolls the sidewalks
On the wrong side of the tracks
Yeah, Jesus strolls the sidewalks
That poverty attacks
He makes his home among the shadows
Where the fatherless have fallen through the cracks
Yeah, Jesus strolls the sidewalks
While the righteous turn their backs
He says, You can lay your burden down
You can lay your burden down
O maybe you been kicked around
You can lay your burden down
Yeah, yeah
Jesus went to church on Sunday
He sat in the back and sang the hymns
Jesus went to church on Sunday
They didn't recognize him
And he says, You can lay your burden down
You can lay your burden down
O maybe you been kicked around
You can lay your burden
lay your burden down
O maybe you been kicked around
You can lay your burden down
