Taken From Wikipedia:
"Many people believe that this song is anti-Christian, to the extent that the band actually received death threats about it on a UK tour in the early 1990s. In reality, though, it is anything but anti-Christian. The song is actually a criticism of the way rock stars use the image of Jesus and the "Jesus Christ Pose" to try to identify themsleves with the idea of the Son of God. Cornell in particular wrote the lyrics as a parody of Jane's Addiction lead singer Perry Farrell, whose majestic on-stage demeanor Cornell found pretentious."

Lyrics:
[Music - Cameron, Shepherd, Thayil, Cornell; Lyrics - Cornell]
And you stare at me
In your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out
Like you've been carrying a load
And you swear to me
You don't want to be my slave
But you're staring at me
Like I need to be saved
In your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out
In your Jesus Christ pose
Thorns and shroud
Like it's the coming of the Lord
And I swear to you
That I would never feed you pain
But you're staring at me
Like I'm driving the nails
In your Jesus Christ pose
And you stare at me
In your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out like it's
The coming of the Lord
And would it pay you more to walk on water
Than to wear a crown of thorns
It wouldn't pain me more to bury you rich
Than to bury you poor
In your Jesus Christ pose
