This song is a profound commentary on modern society's reliance on external solutions for internal problems. The lyrics suggest skepticism towards quick fixes, represented by the 'pill for everything', and criticise the hollow promises of dream sellers. The refrain 'Don't pray for us, we don't need no modern Jesus' can be seen as a rejection of the idea that salvation comes from outside oneself. Instead, the band advocates for self-reliance and resilience, encapsulated in their faith in themselves. They challenge listeners to question societal norms and find their own path to fulfillment. #SelfReliance #QuestioningSociety
Modern Jesus
Lyrics
Come on in, take a seat next to me
You know we've got
We've got what you need
We may be liars preaching to choirs
But we can, we can sell your dreams
You don't need sympathy
They got a pill for everything
Just take that dark cloud
Ring it out to wash it down, but
Don't pray for us
We don't need no modern Jesus
To roll with us
The only rule we need is never
Giving up
The only faith we have is faith in us
We're the ones who start little fires
Yet they burn out
But when they're on the rise they can't help but shine
And when the wave approaches Take our ashes to the ocean
Who cares if hell awaits?
We're having drinks at heaven's gate
Don't pray for us
We don't need no modern Jesus
To roll with us
The only rule we need is never
Giving up
The only faith we have is faith in us
We know that we're helpless
At least we always assume
But we don't need to prove nothing to you
Let's keep the cool
You don't need to feel blue
'Cause we won't sell you nothing
You can't use
Don't pray for us
We don't need no modern Jesus
To roll with us
The only rule we need is never
Giving up
The only faith we have is faith in us
