Lazarus

I got a rare disease a basement full of cheese
I got an old grandmother who's a terrible tease
and I don't understand why she don't want to please me
I hear you raised a sinner from the grave
lazarus was his name
I ain't a saint it's plain to see
but why can't you do the same for me?

and jesus said
where is lazarus now?
where is lazarus now?
I did him a favor a while ago
but where is lazarus now?

so jesus what you trying to say?
I got a wife and three kids who write me every day
I pay twenty odd bucks just to eat off a tray
I hear you raised a sinner from the grave
why can't you supplement my pay?
I read it in the bible when I was a child,
why can't you supplement my pay?

and jesus said
where is lazarus now?
where is lazarus now?
I did him a favor a while ago
but where is lazarus now?
