Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam Lyrics

Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me

Don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee

Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me

Don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee

Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee

Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me
Don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for me

What is the Meaning of Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam?

Ever feel like you're not exactly the poster child for divine perfection? Well, Kurt Cobain certainly did. This track is a cheeky rebellion against the idea of being an ideal, angelic figure. Our grunge prophet declares he's no sunbeam—those shiny, happy people just aren't his tribe. He’s too real, too flawed to fit that mold. The song throws shade at blind faith and martyrdom, refusing to shed tears or tell comforting lies for a cause he can't buy into. It's a raw anthem for all the misfits who'd rather keep it gritty than pretty.
