Mr. Jesus Christ
Chakal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Life destroys me don't come with this sickness
About christianism
Miracles-won't make you god!
Don't benumb me with words
Don't obly me to enter in churches
I blaspheme against you-mr.
Words don't kill my hunger
Love doesn't clean up my soul
Churches don't show me the truth
The bible doesn't give me knowledge
You with your promises of eternal life
Don't call me a sinner
Just leave me alone
You've played with all the world
[solo: mark - pepeu - mark - pepeu]
How many Christs will mankind crucify
How many Christs will the religion make?
To show that mankind had dignity some day
Don't save me from hell, you fool
You've said you would return
You've said you would save us
You've blinded us with your lies
You've used the whole mankind!!!
The song "Mr. Jesus Christ" by Chakal portrays a strong message of belief in oneself and not relying on religion to find one's way. The lyrics go against the traditional view of Christianity, as the artist sarcastically dismisses the idea of miracles to be perceived as godly, and suggests that one's hunger and soul cannot be satisfied and cleaned through love and church.
The artist then provokes the thought of how many more Christ figures will humanity crucify and how religion has made many of these figures. In the end, the artist expresses the futility of the promises of Christianity and how it has blinded humanity and used it for its own gain.
The lyrics suggest that relying on religion for salvation and answers is not helpful, and that humanity needs to rely on their inner strength and personal beliefs to guide themselves through life.

How many Christs will mankind crucify
How many times will humanity put their faith in someone who will ultimately betray them?
How many Christs will the religion make?
How many counterfeit versions of you, Jesus Christ, will religion produce?
To show that mankind had dignity some day
In an effort to prove that humanity has worth
Don't save me from hell, you fool
I do not need you to save me from hell, you foolish entity
You've said you would return
You have promised to come back
You've said you would save us
You have told us that you will save us
You've blinded us with your lies
You have deceived us with your falsities
You've used the whole mankind!!!
You have exploited all of humanity!!!
