Bejesus

"Bejesus" is a song by Root!, heard in demo form on First Root! (Early Demos), the bonus disc included with early copies of the album Surface Paradise, released 30th July 2009 by Meek Joe Records and Shock Records.
Thematically, the song recalls the faux-gospel music recorded by TISM during their No Penis - No God sessions in 1996.
==Lyrics==
:You can't truthfully
:Be anything you want to be
:Conditions apply
:To most of us
:If you really
:Insist on being a somebody
:Why don't you try to be Jesus
:We'd all like to be
:A venerated VIP
:Why not try something
:Far less ambitious
:It's easy and free
:And you don't have to be no deity
:Why not just try to be Jesus
:You can't be a religious leader if you're female
:You can't be in the lucky country if your skin ain't pale
:You can't be educated if you don't pay fees
:You can't be celebrity rated if you're ugly
:You can't be popular if you're original
:You cant be a corporate climber if you like people
:Your chances are looking sorta rough
:But being Jesus, well, that's easy stuff
:He'd never make
:The Fin Review of Who's Who
:He was just helping folks
:Never made much fuss
:Do something good
:When there's nothing in it for you
:Maybe you might just be Jesus
:Who needs religion, be Jesus
:Don't be a Christian, be Jesus
