Jesus of Wall Street – Chase Brady

I'm sorry I'm not getting it

There's something that won't fit

When you say the Bible tells us

God prefers the filthy rich.

That He wants them to have it all

Let's pay their taxes, too.

Cause Jesus surely loves them

So much more than me and you

(Chorus)

So it's Jesus of Wall Street

And Mary of the stock exchange

Peter managed marketing

And Paul did their PR

They must have made millions

Till those commie Romans killed them

So put your faith in Jesus

And your profits will go far.

Can you kindly tell me

The version that you claim

'Cause I'm not finding any of this

In my old King James

What am I overlooking?

Please tell me, I implore.

Cause the Jesus that I've read about

Was partial to the poor.

Is it that business with the fish and loaf

The many fed with one

Got you wondering what could he do

With any good hedge fund.

A man that can work miracles

With him the smart invest

In hopes that he will multiply

What's in their treasure chest.

I'm sorry, I'm still skeptical

It's just not making sense

No, I don't think that Jesus cared

That much for affluence.

Say what you want, I never will

Believe the Son of Man

Would these days be a follower

Of someone like Ayn Rand.
