Whose Side’s Jesus On?

Whose Side’s Jesus On?

Gore says he prays when crises loom.
He asks just what would Jesus do.
And then he does that very thing
(If focus groups would do it too).

So whose side’s Jesus on, folks? Whose side’s Jesus on?
Who’s got the Savior’s brawn, folks? Yes, whose side’s Jesus on?

And Bush says faith-based treatment’s best
For those adrift or drug-addicted.
Salvation’s just for Christians, though.
No Jews. Yes, heaven’s still restricted.

So whose side’s Jesus on, folks? Yes, whose side’s Jesus on?
Who’s got the Savior’s brawn, folks? Yes, whose side’s Jesus on?

The other side, warns either side,
Would of the Savior’s blessings rob us.
And Lieberman? Well, he can say
That Jesus wouldn’t work on Shabbes.

So whose side’s Jesus on, folks? Yes, whose side’s Jesus on?
The battle lines are drawn, folks. Yes, whose side’s Jesus on?

Your support makes stories like this possible

From Minneapolis to Venezuela, from Gaza to Washington, DC, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
