I don't recall seeing this posted here in the past.
It's one of my favorite Wilcox raps. I finally
sat down and transcribed it. Enjoy.

         David and his music Nov. 20-22!! Whooo Hooooo!!)



	"Jesus's Mom"  by David Wilcox 
	------------------------------

	Wake up she said, you dreaming fool,
	Don't throw your life away.
	Because life's too short and you're too smart
	To want to hurt yourself that way.

	What's this talk about the fellow man?
	It's catch as catch-can, understand.
	Muscle and struggle and get what you can
 	Or you'll never get anywhere at all young man

	And what's this talk about loving everybody?
	And trying to be a neighbor and helping out your brother .
	Fine and dandy, but you're getting a little carried away,
	That's what she say.

	She said I'm not saying that love ain't fine.
	But every little thing's got its place and time.
	There's people out there who want what's mine.	
	And there gonna try to take it away.

	So save your love for those who care.
	And buy some clothes and wash your hair.
	Just relax,
	Don't you dare start dreaming about saving the world.

	And Jesus said, "Yes, Mom".


	[Guitar intro]

	You say you see no hope...... [Show the Way]
