"What's Jesus for?" cried the lad at the door
"Can you picture him anywhere here?"
So he smashed all the glasses and swore through the darkness
For the anger, the pain and the fear.
"Take it or leave it
You'd better believe it"
Said the man to his tonic and gin.
"Never mind liturgies, bibles or rosaries,
Just turn the other cheek, son, and you've won."
"Give us a kiss"
Sobbed the girl who was pissed
From the moment she woke til the dawn.
But she'd burned all her bridges and blown all her wages
And her feller was over her now.
"Take it or leave it
The Son and the Spirit for that's not what counts in the end
Come on love, let's get home."
Said her mate down the road
"You should learn to take care of yourself."
And we wanted to know
And we wanted to find
All we wanted is to feel
And we wanted to feel
More peace.
Take it or leave it
Just look for your better bit
Everything else will come good.
The only power on this earth
Is to see what we're worth.
That's what I think he's for
Since you ask."
