Jesus Murphy hung his hat up by the door Said to his apartment: I don't wanna work there anymore Took his dinner from the freezer to the microwave Ate it at the table where his phone held his gaze He tried to ignore the existential dread Watched some TV, had a shower and went to bed He pulled the covers up over his head Said to the darkness: I wish I was dead Jesus Murphy woke up the next day Swallowed some coffee, then he was on his way He sat down at his desk and his neighbour said: How are you? And then he lied and said: I’m fine, thank you, and you? Then he set his mind on some mindless task And did whatever his ungrateful boss asked He looked for the purpose that he longed to find And he escaped by going deep inside his mind Has no one to lead Has no one to feed Not the chosen one A disappointing son In water he sinks His blood is not to drink No water into wine His father’s not divine Can't heal the sick No temptation by Old Nick No need to crucify For your sins, he will not die He led his colleagues Up the stairs Told the management You must be fair He said: Shame on you For disrespecting these folks But now I’m here And we cast off the yokes Then he healed Gary With a Halls for his cough And told Janet’s demons To buzz off He touched the modem And increased the bandwidth And fed two dozen colleagues With a tuna sandwich Walked across the wet floor And scoffed at the sign He raised Larry from his nap And ran out the swine But Julian From Accounting Sold him out For three extra weeks of paid vacation And the managers Crucified him On the copier machines And they put a crown Made of tacks Right upon his head And they stabbed him In the side With a ballpoint pen But after The three day weekend Jesus Murphy rose again Jesus Murphy hung his hat up by the door Said to his apartment: I just can’t take it anymore Skipped his dinner and just stared at the wall Whispered to the emptiness: I don’t have anyone at all Then he took some pills so that he could sleep Stared at the ceiling, while he counted sheep The next morning, his alarm beeped beside his head But Jesus Murphy just stayed right there in bed
