From the recording Golden Delicious
Lyrics
Back East they want to make money
Out West they just want to get high
In between everybody wants Jesus
Like a big slab of cheese upon rye
We’re living in a Jesus sandwich
Open your mouth real wide
They say open your heart as they show their teeth
Take a bite, take a bite, take a bite
We’re living in a Jesus sandwich
Most don’t even know what’s inside
They just swallow whatever they’re handed
And pray the maker makes things right
Back East they ask you for your money
Out West they ask you for a light
In between they tell you that he’s coming
Like a big slab of cheese from the sky
The mill of god grinds slowly but it grinds so so fine
Kill your hunger with this nice white bread and wash it back with wine
We’re living in a Jesus sandwich
The more we eat the more we multiply
The preacher says to keep on feeding
And one day maybe we’ll be satisfied
