American Jesus Lyrics - Greatest Thing I've Ever Learned - Alpha Rev

There comes a time when a man 

Must face the music 

When his cover is blown 

When the bootstraps of integrity 

Are failing honey 

And you're out on your own 

Tears on your face 

A warm embrace 

Throw it back in the sky 

Tell them you don't want any 

Of it 

For the rest of your life 

Tell them you don't want any of it 

How many times must a girl be forgiven honey 

For putting out on a dime 

Though the make-up and the 

Shades to blur the vision 

Darling 

To me you look fine 

Tears on your face 

A warm embrace 

The look on your face 

Throw it back in the sky 

Tell them you don't want any 

Of it 

For the rest of your life 

Tell them you don't want any of it 

No one wants an American Jesus 

Full of guilt and pride 

No one wants to keep covering their wounds up honey 

For the rest of their lives
