[Chorus]
The cross is boss
The cross is boss
The cross is boss
All God's children, they never get lost
Jesus paid (Jesus paid)
[Nails on the cross?] ([Nails on the cross?])
Oh, the way I see it (the way I see it)
The cross is boss

[Verse 1]
Eatin' fried chicken
And just lookin' at tail
There's always some evil bastards and some ne'er-do-wells
They got trouble in mind (trouble in mind)
It's right on time (right on time)
You might way it's a self-fulfillin' prophecy

[Verse 2]
Go 'round preachin' hate (preachin' hate)
Then that hate will wait (hate will wait)
Sittin' out there for you just out under the lights
Through the lights of town
They'll drag you down
Until the neon and flesh is all you can see
[Chorus]
The cross is boss
The cross is boss
The cross is boss
All God's children, they never get lost
Jesus paid (Jesus paid)
[Nails on the cross?] ([Nails on the cross?])
Oh, the way I see it (the way I see it)
The cross is boss

[Verse 3]
I's baptized in
A swimmin' pool
The holy hand of the man, y'know it pushed me down
Our communion wine
Was Concord grape
All that glory and a preacher in a gown

[Chorus]
The cross is boss
The cross is boss
The cross is boss
All God's children, they never get lost
Jesus paid (Jesus paid)
[Nails on the cross?] ([Nails on the cross?])
Oh, the way I see it (the way I see it)
The cross is boss
[Instrumental]
(The cross is boss)
(The cross is boss)
(The cross is boss)
(The cross is boss)
(The cross is boss)
(The cross is boss)
(The cross is boss)
(The cross is boss)
(The cross is boss)

[Chorus]
The cross is boss
The cross is boss
The cross is boss
All God's children, they never get lost
Jesus paid (Jesus paid)
[Nails on the cross?] ([Nails on the cross?])
Oh, the way I see it (the way I see it)
The cross is boss

The cross is boss
The cross is boss
The cross is boss
All God's children, you never get lost
Jesus paid (Jesus paid)
[Nails on the cross?] ([Nails on the cross?])
Oh, the way I see it (the way I see it)
The cross is boss
