lyrics
Jesus Christ sells his "holy blood" by the pint at the liquor store.
So people buy, and they fill their cups.
It tastes like wine, so they drink it up.
It spills like water down their throats.
It builds them up with that awful hope.
They want to need, and it fills their minds.
They preach to me, and tell me to try.
Try!? (HAHAHA)
Why should I try?
Try!? (HAHAHA)
Why should I?
They're still in search of the Holy Grail.
The lack of cup should suggest a fail.
It seems to me they were all taught lies,
Wasting time praying to the sky.
We're on the street looking for a home.
We need to know that we're not alone.
I understand, but I don't know why.
I ask myself should I even try.
Try!? (HAHAHA)
Why should I try?
Try!? (HAHAHA)
Why should I?
So much to learn, and so little time.
No reason, and there aint no rhyme.
Forget the shit that they made you learn,
And learn to live as one with the Earth.
Walk a path in between the trees,
Or lay around and enjoy the breeze.
Watching birds as they fly so high,
It seems to me they don't have to try.
Try!? (HAHAHA)
Why should I try?
Try!? (HAHAHA)
Why should I?
So people buy, and they fill their cups.
It tastes like wine, so they drink it up.
It spills like water down their throats.
It builds them up with that awful hope.
They want to need, and it fills their minds.
They preach to me, and tell me to try.
Try!? (HAHAHA)
Why should I try?
Try!? (HAHAHA)
Why should I?
They're still in search of the Holy Grail.
The lack of cup should suggest a fail.
It seems to me they were all taught lies,
Wasting time praying to the sky.
We're on the street looking for a home.
We need to know that we're not alone.
I understand, but I don't know why.
I ask myself should I even try.
Try!? (HAHAHA)
Why should I try?
Try!? (HAHAHA)
Why should I?
So much to learn, and so little time.
No reason, and there aint no rhyme.
Forget the shit that they made you learn,
And learn to live as one with the Earth.
Walk a path in between the trees,
Or lay around and enjoy the breeze.
Watching birds as they fly so high,
It seems to me they don't have to try.
Try!? (HAHAHA)
Why should I try?
Try!? (HAHAHA)
Why should I?

about
JellyBones Chicago, Illinois
JellyBones is the spongey sound of youth spinning happily out of control. They extend a glowing arm to take us down to the basement & through the washing machine, where we'll leave behind the foggy teenage plains & sniff the crisp snows of the Matterhorn ... more
