Better be good, Jesus gonna get you Took a tall tale and they cut it up Added a Pro and a blood filled cup Made up a birth, nativity scene Was there a town to have a Nazarene? Better behave, Yahweh’s gonna get you, Almighty’s gonna get you, The Lord is gonna get you, Yahweh’s gonna… Better behave, Almighty’s gonna get you, The Lord is gonna get you, some thing will come and get you God led Joseph into Pharaoh’s land Prophesized and turned the Pharaoh’s hand People enslaved until the Passover God wants credit for what we all deserve This book just don’t make no sense Just poorly written fiction, can’t you count the contradictions? If God was worried about us ants He’d just snap his massive fingers, instead of inspiring some madman’s rants Better be good, Yahweh’s gonna get you Koresh is gonna get you, Manson’s gonna get you Jones is gonna, Falwell’s gonna get you Joe Smith is gonna get you, Hubbard’s gonna get you When something’s confused you get nowhere Interpretations come from anywhere Take out a verse and make it plain But when it’s not real it’s just a shame That God ain’t no friend of mine (or the Egyptians!) A selfish child favoring some, choosing others to overrun Yet his favorites just toil away Moses was so dependable, but he and Aaron were expendable Revelations don’t make me afraid The preachers’ savior brings love/peace, until Armageddon brings myth beasts And then Jesus will speak God’s words It’ll kill the wayward; peace has never been so absurd!
