== Lyrics ==

I bought a product they should not have sold.<br /> 
I called the help line,<br /> 
They put me on hold<br /> 
I've been waiting for an hour<br /> 
Now my phone's losing power<br /> 
And I'm gonna explode.<br /> 
I hear, "how may I help you today?"<br /> 
I know a very rude answer,<br /> 
But I'm wondering, hey

What if everybody talked like my friend Jesus?<br /> 
If everybody loved like my friend Jesus,<br /> 
If everyone forgave like my friend Jesus,<br /> 
It would give the world a new beginning.<br /> 
What if this is like an early inning?<br /> 

I state my business;<br /> 
She puts me on hold.<br /> 
I'm back to thinking;<br /> 
I'm gonna explode.<br /> 
And the dog wants dinner,<br /> 
And the music they're playing<br /> 
Is the soundtrack of hell.<br /> 
You say, "two wrongs don't make a right?"<br /> 
Just try listening to Celine Dion all night.<br /> 

But if everybody talked like my friend Jesus,<br /> 
If everybody loved like my friend Jesus,<br /> 
If everyone forgave like my friend Jesus,<br /> 
If we want to mend world relations<br /> 
Surely I can show a little patients.<br /> 

I've been waiting around for this world to change.<br /> 
Another day cut loose, another lame excuse.<br /> 
I've got the why and how to start here and now...<br /> 
...then my cellphone drops the call.<br /> 
...and I spew out vitriol.<br /> 
...and as my fist goes through the wall, a voice says, "be the change you wanna see!"<br /> 

'cause if everybody talked like my friend Jesus?<br /> 
If everybody loved like my friend Jesus,<br /> 
If everyone forgave like my friend Jesus,<br /> 
What a changed world this could be<br /> 

If everybody talked like my friend Jesus?<br /> 
If everybody loved like my friend Jesus,<br /> 
If everyone forgave like my friend Jesus,<br /> 
What a changed world this could be<br /> 
Starting now, maybe I can start the change in me.
