lyrics

They nailed him to a cross but it’s not a total loss
He’s a zombie, Jesus Zombie
He sat down for his last supper but it tasted like Mort Drucker
He’s a zombie, Jesus Zombie
He wore a thorny crown
Wore his heart upon his sleeve
He always walked around but he never seemed to leave
He’d like to pick your brain but he’ll settle for your spleen
He’s a zombie, Jesus Zombie

He didn’t go to heaven so he worked at 7-11
He’s a zombie, Jesus Zombie
He walked upon the water and then he ate your daughter
He’s a zombie, Jesus Zombie
He walked amongst the living, he walked amongst the dead
He spread the word around but he never lost his head
Don’t call him the unliving, he prefers to be undead
He’s a zombie, Jesus Zombie

There’s nothing to do, there’s nothing to do
There’s nothing to do but eat and pray (eat some brains)

He turned water into wine then he started to decline
He’s a zombie, Jesus Zombie
He talked about the meek then he began to reek
He’s a zombie, Jesus Zombie
He lived up to his promise
He died for all our sins
He had some Doubting Thomas, some Judas and some rings
Don’t offer him dessert, he has trouble staying thin
He’s a zombie, Jesus Zombie
