Why you make me so sick?
Why you take and take?

What do you want?
What do you want?
What do you hope for?
[Chorus]

For Jesus will kill you
For Jesus will kill you
Jesus will kill you
Jesus will kill you
Jesus will kill you
Your soft seat
Your soft face
Your protected babies
But Jesus will kill you
Jesus will kill you
Jesus will kill you
Jesus will kill you
