lyrics

I've got a beard and long hair
A couple hammers and some nails
If you can pay for the work done
Or do me a favor, I'll do you one
Don't ask for miracles
Cause I haven't got any
Now that's the spirit girl
Forget about prophecy

I'm not that Jesus
I'm just a carpenter
I'm not your savior
I just fashion wood

Now just cause we got the same name
Doesn't mean I play his game
You know can depend on me
For billable hours only
So don't take communion
Just talk to my union
And whether it's hands off or hands on
Two legs at a time I put my pants on

I'm not that Jesus
I'm just a carpenter
I'm not your savior
I just fashion wood
I just fashion wood

My mother's a liar my father's weak
My lady love's a dirty freak
Their love was wrong, our is unclean
We're just not the kind to be redeemed
I'm good at this one thing
It's better than some things
I wanna live irresponsibly
God bless mediocrity

I'm not that Jesus
I'm just a carpenter
I'm not your savior
I just fashion wood
I just fashion wood

I'm not that Jesus
I'm just a carpenter
I'm not your savior
I just fashion wood
I just fashion wood
I just fashion wood
I just fashion wood
