Jesus Built Me Hot Rod Lyrics

Ministry

soon i discovered that this rock thing was true
jerry lee lewis was the devil
jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
all of a sudden, i found myself in love with the world
so there was only one thing that i could do

ding dang a dong bong bing bong
ticky ticky thought of a gun
everytime i try to do it all now baby

if it's so evil then?
give me my time, with all my power
give it to me all again (wow)
