Easter time on the Box

It’s Easter and Jesus is on the television.

He’s on channel, 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1.

They’re playing all those 'old epics' once up in lights.

Movies with miracles and salvation and the plight of the Israelites.

On channel two, Jesus is hanging up on the cross.

Channel sevens got him roaming the desert, lost.

O! channel nine’s got a nice looking one.

Isn’t that, ‘Charlton Hesston?!?

Mel Gib’s has got Jesus enduring suffering that no man could withstand.

taking a bit of ‘poetic license’ in a Hollywood grand stand.

Channel six is running an Italian Christ.

Channel nine’s got him resurrecting on his way to paradise.

Every where you look, there’s a Jesus on every Station.

Jesus performing miracles and preying for our salvation

So much religion, O it’s all getting hard to take!

Especially since Christianity is not my particular type of cake.

It’s getting to the point where it’s all beginning to grate.

Jesus on every single channel, from morning till late.

They’ve taken off the footy and replaced it with movies about god.

Doesn’t anyone think it’s all over the top and odd.

I mean; through out the whole year it’s like were all atheist.

Then suddenly, at Easter time we all become Christian Patriots.

O It’s all getting to the point where I think we should get out of our seats and complain.

It’s a god dame disgrace that those television stations are running programs, just the same.
