    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!)
