lyrics

Somebody called the cops again
On the man sleeping on the bench
The guy who hides his tired head
Under a blanket on main street
A woman screamed into her phone
And she wept for all the children
Who would soon be walking home
And see this filthy man sleeping

But it was just
A statue of jesus
Worn down
From a long, hard day
Of fighting injustice
And human judgement
Thank heavens y’all
Have a blessed day

Somebody called the cops again
On the man sleeping on the bench
He looked suspicious just lying there
And they could tell he was from somewhere else
He got here illegally
He’s on the run from something
I’m not racist but he’s up to no good
He’ll hook our kids on heroin

But it was just
A statue of jesus
Worn down
From a long, hard day
Of fighting injustice
And human judgement
Thank heavens y’all
Have a blessed day

Somebody called the cops again
And before they could return
An American hero jumped out from the crowd
Swinging a 9mm
He said you better go back to wherever you came from
To some shit-hole far away land
Popped off his pistol and it ricocheted
Into a Chic-fil-A trash can

Cause it was just
A statue of jesus
Worn down
From a long, hard day
Of fighting injustice
And human judgement
Thank heavens y’all
Have a blessed day, blessed day, blessed day, blessed day
