In Vain Lyrics


James & The Shame In Vain

There's quite a few things you don't seem to mind
I'm trying to figure out just where you draw the line
'Cause watching people die seems to be fine

But god forbid a nipple or a Jesus Christ
I sorta understand it took me quite a bit
Before I'd let an oh my god exit from my lips
But maybe that commandment about using the Lord's name
Is about a lot more than what you say

So much done in Jesus' name
Seems to me to be a god damn shame
Are you sure the savior came
So the righteous would all vote the same
Tell me who's the one using his name in vain
Nothing rallies the troops like a building campaign
Or gathering to worship with a rockstar on the stage
Or traveling cross the ocean with life saving supplies
So brown people will know they worship the devil in disguise

So much done in Jesus' name
Seems to me to be a god damn shame
Are you sure the savior came
To help your team win a football game
Tell me who's the one using his name in vain

So much done in Jesus' name
Seems to me to be a god damn shame
Are you sure the savior came
To pledge allegiance to the USA
So you could find the perfect parking space
To help decide that supreme court case
Tell me who's the one using his name in vain
Tell me who's the one using his name in vain
