Some take the bible

For what it's worth

When it says that the meek

Shall inherit the Earth

Well, I heard that some sheik

Has bought New Jersey last week

'N you suckers ain't gettin' nothin'

Is Hare Rama really wrong

If you wander around

With a napkin on

With a bell on a stick

An' your hair is all gone...

(The geek shall inherit nothin')

You say yer life's a bum deal

'N yer up against the wall...

Well, people, you ain't even got no

Deal at all

'Cause what they do

In Washington

They just takes care

of NUMBER ONE

An' NUMBER ONE ain't YOU

You ain't even NUMBER TWO

Those Jesus Freaks

Well, they're friendly but

The shit they believe

Has got their minds all shut

An' they don't even care

When the church takes a cut

Ain't it bleak when you got so much

nothin'

(So whaddya do)

Eat that pork

Eat that ham

Laugh till ya choke

On Billy Graham

Moses, Aaron 'n Abraham...

They're all a waste of time

'N it's yer ass that's on the line

(IT'S YER ASS THAT'S ON THE LINE)

Do what you wanna

Do what you will

Just don't mess up

Your neighbor's thrill

'N when you pay the bill

Kindly leave a little tip

And help the next poor sucker

On his one way trip...

SOME TAKE THE BIBLE...

(Aw gimme half a dozen for the hotel

room!)
