Take a walk Out the gate you go and never stop Past all the stores and wig shops Quarter in a cup for every block And watch the buildings grow Smaller as you go Down the tracks Beautiful McMansions on a hill That overlook a highway With riverboat casinos and you still Have yet to see a soul Jesusland Jesusland Town to town Broadcast to each house, they drop your name But no one knows your face Billboards quoting things you'd never say You hang your head and pray For Jesusland Jesusland Miles and miles And the sun goin' down Pulses glow From their homes You're not alone Lights come on As you lay your weary head on their lawn Parking lots Cracked and growing grass you see it all From offices to farms Crosses flying high above the malls A longer walk Through Jesusland Jesusland

Take a walk
Out the gate you go and never stop
Past all the stores and wig shops
Quarter in a cup for every block
And watch the buildings grow
Smaller as you go
Down the tracks
Beautiful McMansions on a hill
That overlook a highway
With riverboat casinos and you still
Have yet to see a soul
Jesusland
Jesusland
Town to town
Broadcast to each house, they drop your name
But no one knows your face
Billboards quoting things you'd never say
You hang your head and pray
For Jesusland
Jesusland
Miles and miles
And the sun goin' down
Pulses glow
From their homes
You're not alone
Lights come on
As you lay your weary head on their lawn
Parking lots
Cracked and growing grass you see it all
From offices to farms
Crosses flying high above the malls
A longer walk
Through Jesusland
Jesusland
