Jesus Rides The Subway

Jesus rides the subway with the junkies and the freaks
Jesus rides the subway with the husslers and the creeps
He rubs shoulders with the thieves
And he looks a lot like everyone he sees
Yeah, Jesus rides the subway
While the pretty people sleep

He says, "You can lay your burden down,
You can lay your burden down
Oh, maybe you've been kicked around,
But you can lay your burden down."

Jesus strolls the sidewalk
On the wrong side of the tracks
Yeah, Jesus strolls the sidewalk
That poverty attacked
He makes his home among the shadows
Where the fatherless have fallen through the cracks.
Yeah, Jesus strolls the sidewalk
While the righteous turn their backs.

He says, "You can lay your burden down,
You can lay your burden down
Oh, maybe you've been kicked around,
But you can lay your burden down."

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Jesus went to church on Sunday
He sat in the back and sang the hymns
Jesus went to church on Sunday
They didn't recognize him.

He says, "You can lay your burden down,
You can lay your burden down
Oh, maybe you've been kicked around,
But you can lay your burden, lay your burden down."

(You can lay your burden down)
