Resurrection 2006 (The Crashin' of the Price)
fredlocks2k

Just the other day
 1
while I was
 2
in my car
 3
not
 4
going very far
 5
I
 6
peeped into the car
 7
next to mine at the light and saw…
 8
JESUS!!
 9
 
 
Yeah, Jesus!
 10
Not the real Jesus,
 11
but the one the white man has used for years
 12
to tease us.
 13
You know, anorexic white dude
 14
with the beard on the cross--
 15
Well, that’s exactly what I saw
 16
in the red car across
 17
from me.
 18
Looked to be
 19
about uh, 33,
 20
in an old Mustang;
 21
probably an ‘85.
 22
No shirt on, smoking a Marlboro
 23
and his music turned up high.
 24
And I
 25
thought,
 26
"What if that really was Jesus?
 27
What
 28
if
 29
it
 30
really
 31
was
 32
HIM???
 33
 
 
Had me thinking thoughts profound,
 34
like
 35
If Jesus was in town...
 36
like
 37
How would his music sound...
 38
like
 39
How would he get around...
 40
And
 41
How could I be down?
 42
 
 
I mean, for real tho’,
 43
how would we know
 44
if it was the Son of God?
 45
Would he have to do a few tricks?
 46
Not stupid shit with cards,
 47
but some ol' supernatural shit...
 48
like
 49
Heal the sick...
 50
like
 51
Give sight to the blind?
 52
(Been there done that…
 53
read Matthew, chapter 9).
 54
How about turning tap water into wine?
 55
(Now, that would be on time!)
 56
But David Copperfield and David Blane
 57
could do all that
 58
on David Letterman,
 59
so you got’s to come better than that Jesus.
 60
Because people are cynics
 61
disbelievers and critics,
 62
and all they believe in is money
 63
and how the hell they gon' get it!
 64
 
 
So tell me Mr. Christ,
 65
the one who gave his life;
 66
How are you
 67
gonna get through
 68
to them…
 69
 
 
“I will die again 4 your sin”
 70
 
 
The end

lines 7 and 8 should read "peeped into the car next to mine at the light and saw".  otherwise, if you leave it as is you're saying you peeped into the car that was at the light that was next to your light.  which isn't what you're trying to say.  i'm assuming.
sorry, my eye just catches these things.
 — unknown

dont need the last line.
 — inutile

Original - I liked, although I think you could tighten it up in the middle
 — Mercedes

I love this but I got an idea for it

Why not make it say something like
blahblahblah he pulled into my lane in front of me and his liscense plate said
"dies4sins" or something

Kinda corny

Dunno, figured I'd say something.
 — MissMay

You should've just not said anything at all, Miss May.
