Jesus Died in Las Vegas

Do you think you'd love him
All the same?
Even if he'd lose everything faith
Too you gave your blood
and the rest of
That ridiculous crown of all
Your rags for just one dollar.

You will ask men to follow you
And serve you to leave their lands
And their fathers who will love you
But cheaters and whores
Maybe they will follow you at the same
But they will wait for a reward
Richer than your word.

Jesus died in Las Vegas
And here the lights have
the taste of his blood pain and regret.
Jesus died in Las Vegas
And he died with the arrogance
Of who feels loved and betrayed

In a dim motel you betrayed your friends
And married a [bad word] for few dollars
cigar one day wedding three nails
Are enough to be part of history
if one accepts it an one believes in
it someone will follow him
And abandon flags and kings
With sandals or a cadillac,
You will have his place
But they will forget you
And you don't know
How easy is to substitute a god.

Jesus died in Las Vegas
And here the lights have
the taste of his blood pain and regret.
Jesus died in Las Vegas
And he died with the arrogance
Of who feels loved and betrayed
