lyrics

You could be so cool, could be so hip,
So popular if only you'd represent.
You could be whoever you wanted,
Have whatever you wanted.
Do whatever you wanted, you're better than them.
Get away with everything, you're better than them.
Get away with murder, get away with rape.
Get away with it all, 'cause I think you're great.
'Cause we know that he's...

Hip for Jesus, yes I know.
And it's getting very old.
Hip for Jesus, yes I see.
'Cause you're so much better than me.

Trouble, it's okay, 'cause you're righteous anyway.
Disclaimer before you speak, it's alright with me.
Don't worry about it all, Jesus loves us all.
Don't let them judge you, that's my job.
But I'm too busy updating my image.
So you'll have to do it for me.

Hip for Jesus, yes I know.
And it's getting very old.
Hip for Jesus, yes I see.
'Cause you're so much better than me.
Jesus loves me, yes I know.
And it's getting very old.
Treat the heathens how you see fit.
It's okay as long as you believe in it.

Hip for Jesus, yes I know.
And it's getting very old.
Hip for Jesus, yes I see.
'Cause you're so much better than me.
Jesus loves me, yes I know.
And it's getting very old.
Treat the heathens how you see fit.
It's okay as long as you believe in it.

Jesus returns in:
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five
Six.
Seven.
Eight.
Nine...
