Print without graphics

Jesus Christ was an only child
he went down to the river
and he drank and smiled
and his dad was oh-so-mad
should have insured that planet
before it crashed

working real hard to make internet cash
work your fingers to the bone sitting on your ass

I know now what I knew then

but I didn't know then what I know now

Penny found out while her hair was styled
you should hide you kids
when the dogs run wild

Jesus Christ was an only child
he went down to the river
and he drank and smiled
and his dad was oh-so-mad
should have insured that planet
before it crashed
