ASH
- Jesus Says Lyrics / with translationsOne million light years from home
Throwing up and feeling small
Where have I gone and landed tonight
I've been shot right to the core
Of NYC and hostility yeah
But you gotta laugh
'Cos there's something that I cannot do without
And it's in your hand
Where have I gone and landed tonight
A million light years from home
Throwing up and feeling small
And now I know that my mind is blown
'Cos there's something that I cannot do without
Something that I understand
Yeah there's something that I cannot do without
And it's in your hand
Cut down shot down
Any way you please
Don't get nothing for free
Big time small time
Any way you choose yeah
Don't mean nothing to me
Where have I gone and landed tonight
God give me strength
In a land of fakes and small time petty thieves
Must be the wrong place
'Cos all my honesty is true yeah
But it's gone to waste
On a soulless superficial void
Called the human race
Cut down shot down
Any way you please
Don't get nothing for free
Big time small time
Any way you choose yeah
Yeah but you gotta compete
Where have I gone and landed tonight
Throwing up and feeling small
One million light years from home
I've been shot right to the core
Of NYC and hostility yeah
But you gotta laugh
'Cos there's something that I cannot do without
And it's in your hand
Cut down shot down
Any way you please
Don't get nothing for free
Big time small time
Any way you choose yeah
Don't mean f*ck all to me
Yeah I've been cut down shot down
Any way you please yeah
Sisters and brothers please yeah
Big time small time
Any way you please yeah
Don't mean nothing to me
Throwing up and feeling small
Where have I gone and landed tonight
I've been shot right to the core
Of NYC and hostility yeah
But you gotta laugh
'Cos there's something that I cannot do without
And it's in your hand
Where have I gone and landed tonight
A million light years from home
Throwing up and feeling small
And now I know that my mind is blown
'Cos there's something that I cannot do without
Something that I understand
Yeah there's something that I cannot do without
And it's in your hand
Cut down shot down
Any way you please
Don't get nothing for free
Big time small time
Any way you choose yeah
Don't mean nothing to me
Where have I gone and landed tonight
God give me strength
In a land of fakes and small time petty thieves
Must be the wrong place
'Cos all my honesty is true yeah
On a soulless superficial void
Called the human race
Cut down shot down
Any way you please
Don't get nothing for free
Big time small time
Any way you choose yeah
Yeah but you gotta compete
Where have I gone and landed tonight
Throwing up and feeling small
One million light years from home

✔️
When we consider what the writer meant by those haunting lines, the 'Jesus Says' tune by ASH is about one being lost and overwhelmed in an unfriendly place, possibly indicating the difficulties and hardships endured in a large city such as NYC. The text portrays a feeling of disappointment with the world, pointing out the void and triviality of relationships, and, at the same time, declaring the necessity for inner strength and fortitude in adversity. Jesus says lyrics speak of mainly, personal introspection, criticism of society, unease, wrath and power. However, simultaneously the song also brings factors of disconnection and alienation, fight and endurance, and triviality and truth to the front. Among the things brought out by the lyrics are the themes of hostility and feeling overwhelmed, which may not be suitable for kids below the age of 13. Moreover, there is a strong language usage ('fuck all') which gives the imposition of PG-13 rating, for it is the context which may be seen as inappropriate for young audiences that the strong language is used.
