The lead single off Badmotorfinger is a mocking portrait of musicians using crucified poses:
You just see it a lot with really beautiful people, or famous people, exploiting that symbol as to imply that they’re either a deity or persecuted somehow by their public. So it’s pretty much a song that is...
[Instrumental Intro 00:00-01:27]
[Verse 1]
And you stare at me
In your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out
Like you've been carrying a load
And you swear to me
You don't want to be my slave
But you're staring at me
Like I
[Pre-Chorus]
Like I need to be
Saved
Saved
Like I need to be
Saved
Saved
[Chorus]
In your Jesus Christ pose
In your Jesus Christ pose
[Verse 2]
Arms held out
In your Jesus Christ pose
Thorns and shroud
Like it's the coming of the Lord
And I swear to you
I would never feed you pain
But you're staring at me
Like I
[Pre-Chorus]
Like I'm driving the
Nails
Nails
Like I'm driving the
Nails
Nails
Like I'm driving the
Nails (nails)
Nails (nails)
Nails (nails)
Like I'm driving the
Nails (nails)
Nails
[Chorus]
In your Jesus Christ pose
In your Jesus Christ pose
[Bridge]
Arms held out
In your Jesus Christ pose
Thorns and shroud
Like it's the coming of the Lord
Would it pain you more to walk on water
Than to wear a crown of thorns?
It wouldn't pain me more to bury you rich
[Outro]
Than to bury you
Poor
(In your Jesus Christ pose) Poor
Poor (in your Jesus Christ pose)
[Instrumental Outro]
