Alec Benjamin: Jesus in LA

  • 0:00 - 0:03
    You can catch him
    headlining at Terminal 5
  • 0:03 - 0:05
    here in New York
    on October 25th.
  • 0:05 - 0:07
    Performing
    his new single -
  • 0:07 - 0:10
    It's one of my jams
    of the week, man. I love this song -
  • 0:10 - 0:14
    "Jesus in L.A.,"
    please welcome Alec Benjamin.
  • 0:15 - 0:18
    Well, I shook hands with the devil
    down on the south side
  • 0:18 - 0:21
    And he bought us both
    a drink
  • 0:21 - 0:23
    With a pad and a pencil,
    sat by his side
  • 0:23 - 0:26
    I said, Tell me
    what you think
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    I've been looking for my
    savior, looking for my truth
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    I even asked my shrink
  • 0:30 - 0:32
    He brought me down
    to his level
  • 0:32 - 0:33
    Said, Son,
    you're not special
  • 0:33 - 0:35
    You won't
    find him where you think
  • 0:35 - 0:38
    You won't find him
    down on Sunset
  • 0:38 - 0:40
    Or at a party in the Hills
  • 0:40 - 0:43
    At the bottom of the bottle
  • 0:43 - 0:46
    Or when you're tripping
    on some pills
  • 0:46 - 0:49
    When they sold you the dream,
    you were just 16
  • 0:49 - 0:51
    Packed a bag and ran away
  • 0:51 - 0:53
    And it's a crying shame
    you came all this way
  • 0:53 - 0:56
    'Cause you won't
    find Jesus in LA
  • 0:56 - 0:58
    And it's a crying shame
    you came all this way
  • 0:58 - 1:01
    'Cause you won't
    find Jesus in LA
  • 1:11 - 1:14
    Took a sip of his whiskey,
    said, Now that you're with me
  • 1:14 - 1:17
    Well, I think
    that you should stay
  • 1:17 - 1:19
    Yeah, I know you've been busy
    searching through the city
  • 1:19 - 1:22
    So let me share the way
  • 1:22 - 1:24
    I know I'm not your savior,
    know I'm not your truth
  • 1:24 - 1:26
    But I think
    we could be friends
  • 1:26 - 1:29
    He said, Come down to my
    level, hang out with the devil
  • 1:29 - 1:31
    Let me tell you, in the end
  • 1:31 - 1:34
    You won't find him
    down on Sunset
  • 1:34 - 1:37
    Or at a party in the Hills
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    At the bottom of the bottle
  • 1:39 - 1:42
    Or when you're tripping
    on some pills
  • 1:42 - 1:45
    When they sold you the dream,
    you were just 16
  • 1:45 - 1:47
    Packed a bag and ran away
  • 1:47 - 1:49
    And it's a crying shame
    you came all this way
  • 1:49 - 1:52
    'Cause you won't
    find Jesus in LA
  • 1:52 - 1:54
    And it's a crying shame
    you came all this way
  • 1:54 - 1:58
    'Cause you won't
    find Jesus in LA
  • 1:59 - 2:04
    And that is when I knew
    that it was time to go home
  • 2:04 - 2:09
    And that is when I realized
    that I was alone
  • 2:09 - 2:14
    And all the vibrant colors
    from the lights fade away
  • 2:14 - 2:17
    And I don't care
    what they say
  • 2:17 - 2:20
    You won't find him
    down on Sunset
  • 2:20 - 2:22
    Or at a party in the Hills
  • 2:22 - 2:25
    At the bottom of the bottle
  • 2:25 - 2:28
    Or when you're tripping
    on some pills
  • 2:28 - 2:31
    When they sold you the dream,
    you were just 16
  • 2:31 - 2:33
    Packed a bag and ran away
  • 2:33 - 2:35
    And it's a crying shame
    you came all this way
  • 2:35 - 2:38
    'Cause you won't
    find Jesus in LA
  • 2:38 - 2:40
    I won't find him
    down on Sunset
  • 2:40 - 2:43
    Or at a party in the Hills
  • 2:43 - 2:45
    At the bottom of the bottle
  • 2:45 - 2:49
    Or when I'm tripping
    on some pills
  • 2:49 - 2:51
    When they sold me the dream,
    I was just 16
  • 2:51 - 2:53
    Packed my bag and ran away
  • 2:53 - 2:56
    And it's a crying shame
    I came all this way
  • 2:56 - 2:59
    'Cause I won't
    find Jesus in LA
  • 2:59 - 3:01
    And it's a crying shame
    I came all this way
  • 3:01 - 3:04
    'Cause I won't
    find Jesus in LA
  • 3:09 - 3:11
    Very nervous.
  • 3:11 - 3:13

  • 3:14 - 3:17
