Stronger than Jesus
A Camp Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And that your heart will lead you to the only one
It is a curse, it's the hammer that will break ya
It's a poison hidden in a bon-bon

Don't you know love is stronger than Jesus
Don't you know love can kill anyone
Bring it on, wars and diseases
You know that love can do you like a shotgun

Can't resist them, the sailors and the soldiers
Taking aim, a rabbit on a rifle-range
Pay no mind to what your mama told ya
You're the fool who's chasing down the candy-cane

It's a riddle how lovers can stay alive
That we bloom and breed and multiply

Don't you know love is stronger than Jesus
Don't you know love can kill anyone
So bring it on, wars and diseases
You know that love can do you like a shotgun
Oh, oh no
Oh, oh no

See the people heading for disaster
Standing in line, just looking for a little fun
Love is a fire, a hot hot blaster
And we're the belgians burning in the Congo sun

We're believers trusting strangers
Any monkey looking like a saviour
It's a riddle how
We're still living now
Oh how little we know, oh

Don't you know love is stronger than Jesus
Don't you know love can kill anyone
So bring it on, wars and diseases
You know that love can do you like a shotgun
Don't you know love is stronger than Jesus
Don't you know love can kill anyone
Bring it on, wars and diseases
You know love can do you like a shotgun




Oh, oh no
Oh, oh no!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of A Camp's song Stronger than Jesus are complex and thought-provoking. At first glance, they seem to be making a statement about the power of love and how it can triumph over religion and other societal forces. The lines "Don't you know love is stronger than Jesus/Don't you know love can kill anyone/Bring it on, wars and diseases/You know that love can do you like a shotgun" suggest that love is a more powerful force than any other, even religion. The image of love being compared to a shotgun is particularly powerful and evokes a sense of danger and destruction.


The lyrics also touch on the idea of temptation and how it can be difficult to resist. The lines "Can't resist them, the sailors and the soldiers/Taking aim, a rabbit on a rifle-range/Pay no mind to what your mama told ya/You're the fool who's chasing down the candy-cane" paint a vivid picture of someone being drawn in by temptation, even if they know it's not good for them. The comparison to a rabbit on a rifle-range is particularly poignant, as it underscores the idea of vulnerability and helplessness.


Overall, the lyrics of Stronger than Jesus are open to interpretation, but they offer a powerful commentary on the nature of love, temptation, and human weakness. The song encourages listeners to think deeply about these themes and to consider the role that love plays in our lives.

Sell me the infection, it's only for the weak. 

Adjust your parameters when knowing the sick,
align your heart along with me, 
forget the previous stances of what once was you and me,
follow closely the call of the heed, and trust the pieces
left by the robbery of letters made to heal,
enclose my heart into a cloud of pink
remove all diligence when attending the elite,
justify yourself and embrace me,
whenever you feel like being part of me. 

There's not stronger love than the love of many
who consciously receive the same many,
deny those who prevail against the free,
and choose carefully what to do with me
whenever I come to your home or ask you for free
you must understand I'm following my heart before I give you a lift.
