Verse 1 Saw a pickup preachin’ louder than the AM dial Bumper stickers stacked like a trial by fire Talk radio prophets, flags in the bed Sayin’ God wears red, white, blue… and spray-tan instead Mama says hush, don’t start nothin’ tonight But the jukebox is loud and the beer’s feelin’ brave Every sermon needs a savior Every bar needs a fight Pre-Chorus They don’t need proof, don’t need facts Just a microphone and a devil to smack Chorus They found Orange Jesus in a golf-course suit Turned a businessman into absolute truth Walks on tweets, turns rage into wine Says “Trust me, brother, I been right every time” Yeah, the blind lead the loud, the loud lead the lost They’ll nail you to a cross just to prove a point Say grace with a fist and a middle-finger thesis All hail, amen — Orange Jesus Verse 2 Got a bible on the dash, never cracked the spine Got a cross on the mirror, judgment in their eyes They pray for mercy but vote for war Say love thy neighbor, then lock the door Sermons dressed up as cable news Faith measured out in winning and losing If you doubt the word, you’re the enemy If you question the king, you’re blasphemy Pre-Chorus It ain’t about God, it ain’t about right It’s about feelin’ chosen in a barroom fight Chorus They found Orange Jesus in a gold-leaf lie Said the rich get richer ’cause the poor don’t try Breaks commandments, sells it as strength Says humility’s weak, but vengeance ain’t Yeah, the loud clap louder, the truth gets bruised They’ll burn the book just to win the feud Wrap hate in a flag, call it freedom of speech, yeah All hail, amen — Orange Jesus Bridge I ain’t holy, I ain’t clean I don’t need a king to tell me what I mean If God’s real, He’s shakin’ His head Watchin’ men use His name to place their bets Half-Chorus (drop it down) Yeah, I’ll take my chances with the flawed and the free Over saints with a sponsor and a messiah on TV Final Chorus They found Orange Jesus, bigger than God Forgives every sin soon as you nod Truth’s just a rumor, power’s the prize And faith’s just a tool when it’s televised Yeah, love gets lost when fear’s the thesis But don’t blame heaven — blame the preachers I’ll keep my soul, you keep your pieces You can have your king — Orange Jesus Outro (spoken / sung) Buy one get one free salvation tonight.
