Lyrics Jello Biafra

Jello Biafra

Plastic Jesus

Well, I don't care if it rains or freezes

Long as I have my plastic Jesus

Riding on the dashboard of my car

Through all trials and tribualtions

We will travel every nation

With my plastic Jesus I'll go far

CHORUS

Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus

Riding on the dashboard of my car

Through all trials and tribulations

We will travel every nation

With my plastic Jesus I'll go far

Riding down a thorooughfare

With his nose up in the air

A wreck may be ahead, but He don't mind

Trouble coming He don't see

He just keeps His eye on me

ANd any other thing that lies behind

Plastic Jesus, Plastic Jesus

Riding on the dasboard of my car

Though the sunshine on his back

Makes Him peel, chip and crack

A little patching keeps Him up to par

When pedestrians try to cross

I let them know who's boss

I never blow the horn or give them warning

I ride all over town

Trying to run them down

And it's seldom that they live to see the morning

Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus

Riding on the dashboard of my car

His halo fits just right

And I use it for sight

And they'll scatter or they'll splatter near and far

If I weave around at night

And the police think I'm tight

They'll never find my bottle, though they ask

Plastic Jesus shelters me

For His head comes off, you see

He's hollow, and I use Him for a flask

Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus

Riding on the dashboard of my car

Ride with me and have a dram

Of the blood of the Lamb

Plastic Jesus is a holy bar

Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus

Riding on the dashboard of my car

But I think he'll have to go

His magnet ruins my radio

And if we wreck he'll leave a scar

Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus

Riding on the dashboard of my car

Once His robe was snowy white

Not it isn't quite so bright

Stained by the smoke of my cigar
