Jesus at My Dining Room Table

If Jesus were sittin at my dining room table
To what subject would the conversation turn?
Do i ever have in-laws?
Should my kids believe in Santa Claus?
Why does California always seem to burn?

Would he take a sip of water
Ask for something stronger
Saying "son, there's no need to hide
I know you feel uncertain
I know you're hurting
But i swear to god you'll be alright."?

Would i say "hallelujah, thank you Jesus"
Or would i just sit and cry?
It hasn't been a great year
And lots of us hate livin' here
I miss the way it felt to live a lie
Live a lie

Do you love black kids more or white cops?
When will all that bullshit stop?
Do you vote red or blue or not at all?
Is this as good as it gets?
Should i have smoked a few more cigarettes
If none of it mattered at all?

Would i say "hallelujah, thank you Jesus"
Or would i just sit and cry?
It's been a pretty shit year
And lots of us hate livin' here
I miss the way it felt to live a lie
Live a lie

(live a lie)

Would i say "hallelujah, thank you Jesus"
Or would i just sit and cry?
Somethin' isn't right here
Just seems like you disappeared
I miss the way it felt to live a lie
Live a lie
I miss the way it felt to live a lie
