Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Separated, I cut myself clean from a past
That comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
And a grace that replaced all the me I divorced
[Verse 2]
I saw a man with a tat on his big fat belly
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said
'Cause I had to match the rhythm of his belly with my head
[Verse 3]
Jesus saves is what it raved
In a typical tattoo, green
Now he stood on a box in the middle of the city
And he claimed he had a dream, he said
[Verse 4]
What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak?
What will people do when they find that it's true?
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguisin' the truth
[Verse 5]
There ain't no disguisin' the truth
No, I ain't into hidin' the truth
[Verse 6]
Kamikaze, my death is gain
I've been marked by my maker, a peculiar display
The high and lofty, they see me as weak
But I won't live and die for the power they seek, yeah
[Verse 7]
There was a man from the desert with naps on his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke make the people assume
There wasn't too much left in the upper room
[Verse 8]
With skins on his back, and hair on his face
They thought he was strange from the locusts he ate
He purposefully tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of the Jesus freak
[Verse 9]
What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak?
What will people do when they find that it's true?
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguisin' the truth
[Verse 10]
No, I ain't into hidin' the truth
[Verse 11]
People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger?
My best friend was born in a manger
People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger?
My best friend was born in a manger
[Verse 12]
What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak?
What will people do when they find that it's true?
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguisin' the truth
[Verse 13]
What will people think? (What will people think?)
What will people do? (What will people do?)
I don't really care (What else can I say?)
There ain't no disguisin' the truth (Jesus is the way)
