You better do what your daddy tells you You better listen what your mamma say 'Cus there's a lot of ugly people in this world, baby Just remember what your good book say
You better grab onto the hand of the man and let him slide around your neck You better listen to the sound of silence and hope to the best hasn't happened yet
You better hold onto the sun just as long as it will shine and pray to your Plastic Jesus that your learn in time
(Plastic Jesus) (Pray to your plastic Jesus)
You might get away your way out of this one you could lie your way out of the next one but truth is the truth and ain't that the truth 'cus the Devil standin' here trying to spit shine my shoes
And you can tolerate all my gander you can feel free to meander through this life and gone and try to get you some Just remember what's good for gander
You can hold on to the sun until it lifts you off the ground You better hope your Plastic Jesus don't let you down When you're walking out at night and you see the neon lights you be burnin' like a moth to a flame No one knows you who you are and it seems quite bizarre because everybody knows your name
(Plastic Jesus) Now season may change , and people may change But if you live your life inside the lines you're gonna live your life in chains
You better hold on to the sun just as long as it will shine and pray to your plastic Jesus that you learn in time (Plastic Jesus) (Pray to your Plastic Jesus)
Hold onto just as long as it will shine (Ah) And pray to your Plastic Jesus that you learn in time (Pray to your Plastic Jesus) Hold onto the sun until it lifts you off the ground (Ahhh-Plastic Jesus) You better hope that your Plastic Jesus don't let you down (Ahhh-Pray to your Plastic Jesus)
Oh don't it get old always doin' what your told, you can sleep when you get old Don't you know that you can be just like me
