Bulletins

hey everybody
i just wanted to let you all know that our new single
"jesus was a democrat" is available for FREE DOWNLOAD
head over to www.everclearonline.com where you can download the song for free. its also a free download on our myspace page and ilike page.

i am also enclosing the lyrics here on this blog

i just wanted to tell you a little bit about the song.....

i have been wanting to write this song for a long time,
ever since the right wing in this country tried to make the word liberal
a thing of shame and tried to convince america that only conservative "christians"
could make the claim that they had the sole right and ownership of the term"family values"....it made me think of the story of jesus and how his words and ideals snd lessons sounded much more like me and my lefty friends then the right cretins i saw on sunday morning tv......i think if jesus would have been born today....he would be considered a radical a.c.l.u liberal, which in this country,...that means democrat or green party or something left of the dial.....anything BUT a republican

some other reasons i wrote this song

i hate the fact that a lot of conservative people who consider themselves christian
do no act like christians whereas a lot of people who are not christians....do

i am a christian...and i resent the fact that most people who re not christians are afraid of or angry at the perception of what a "christian" is because of the intolerance,hypocrisy,racism,ignorance and hatred of the stereo typical right wing christian.....sarah palin much?

look, if this song offends you....then dont listen to it

if you think i am wrong in my convictions.....and this upsets you
then please dont come to the page

if you do not believe that everclear is the proper forum for political opinons,
then you havent been paying attention
i have been writing political songs from the very beginning.....check out the songs we are putting on the player tomorrow

but if you do believe that i,like you have the right to speak my mind
and respect what i think regardless if you agree or not(which incidentally IS what being an AMERICAN IS ALL ABOUT!!!)....then i urge you to read the lyrics and listen to the song with an open mind....and write me with your feelings about it

we have a video coming out in a couple of weeks...which we will post here
and will be available for down load everywhere

here's the lyrics.....

j e s u s w a s a d e m o c r a t

jesus christ didnt have blue eyes or blond hair
he looked just like all those people that you want to kill

spin your hell
into a a heaven you can sell...
....make it look like california
with a bible belt

.....jesus didnt look like the boy next door
......unless you live in palestine

i wonder what you mean
by the golden rule

i think it is a scary play on words

i wonder what they taught you
back in sunday school

i bet you think of him
as a nice clean
long haired republican

nah

he would be all locked up
in guantanomo bay.....

if he were alive today

he would have been a revolutionary
....wanted by the c.i.a.

i picture him
in all the wrong places
finding diamonds in the dirt
a star of david tattoo
and a che tshirt

jesus christ was a left wing radical jew
murdered by people like you

if jesus was a democrat
like the bible says he was
i don't think he's going to
want to take the blame
for all the awful things
you say and do
in his name

if jesus was alive
he would be sad to see
that it is
no different
than it used to be
someday he's going to call you out
i am pretty god damned sure ......

he is going to be angry

he is going to be angry

you want to know what i think?.......

i think jesus would have been
a card carrying liberal
if he was a young man
born in the u.s a.

he would not be "fiscally conservative"
and he wouldn't vote for john mccain

all those so called christians
that you see on t.v.
maybe they scare jesus
like they scare me

kick you the hell out of my temple too
too many elephants in the room

if jesus was a democrat
like the bible says he was
i don't think he's going to
want to take the blame
for all the awful things
you people do and say
in his name

if jesus was alive today
he would be sad to see
that it is no different
than it used to be
someday he's going to call you out
i am pretty god damned sure ......
he is going to be ....mad

he is going to be angry

he is going to be ....mad

he is going to be ....mad

you say jesus loves the little children
and i say i know that's true

i say he loves all the muslims and the jews
all the addicts and the porn stars too

you say jesus died to save us all from a firey hell
i say jesus died to save us

save us from ourselves

will you save me from myself?

if jesus was a liberal
like the red letters say he was
i know
he would have big love
for all
the killers and the racists
and the bully's
in this world

if jesus was alive today
and you had a chance to meet him
face to face
i'm pretty god damed sure
that you and your friends
would find some way
to kill him all over again

you would kill him all over again
again and again and again

just like you always do

you do just what you always do

god bless
