  • Too much sex, too little Jesus

    Stacy been a troubled teen ever since she was twelve
    She felt the world close in on her and thought she needed help
    Listening to the radio on a Sunday night
    She heard the preacher calling out to call up on his help-line
    He sounded so nice, he sounded so inviting
    And for a small donation she could have the Lord Almighty
    She told him her story
    He told her his thoughts
    He said you better get yourself right in the eyes of God

    Too much sex, too little Jesus
    Too much sex, too little Jesus
    Too much sex, too little Jesus

    Stop that dope smoking, stop that masturbation
    Take the Lord into your heart and stop that fornication
    We're building us an army, gonna knock out Satan
    Visa or Mastercard, our operators are waiting

    Too much sex, too little Jesus
    Too much sex, too little Jesus
    Too much sex, too little Jesus

    Since Satan's made a slave of you, the Lord will set you free
    You don't know God from diddly and you're old enough to breed
    The sins of me and you are the reason he did bleed
    Now a word from our sponsor then another troubled teen with

    Too much sex, too little Jesus
    Too much sex, too little Jesus
    Too much sex, too little Jesus
    Too much sex, too little Jesus Writer/s: Patterson Hood

  • Daniel from Winchester, OhioDoesn't surprise me at all that Landon wrote the meaning for this song. This was another band he couldn't get enough of.
