"The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing"
Boy!
WORK THE WALL!
Dey workin' de wall!
WORK THE FLOOR!
Dey not only woikin' it, dey turnin' de damn thing!
WORK THE PIPE!
De pipe?
(IN SERIOUS PAIN)
Welcome to the QUENTIN ROBERT DE NAMELAND VIDEO CHAPEL OF ECONOMIC WORSHIP!
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' DOODLY!
Is all de MAMMYS really wrong
If we's wandrin' aroun'
With de nakkin on?
Big ol' lips like a duck
While we's singin' dis song
(EVIL PRINCE, people, he cain't do NOTHIN'!)
You say yo' life a 'BUM DEAL'
'N yo' 'UP AGAINST DE WALL'?
Well, people, you ain't got no kinda
'DEAL' at all!
Now de shit dey be doin'
Down in WASHINGTUM
Dey just takes care
Dey takin' care
O' 'NUMBER ONE,'
O' 'NUMBER ONE'!
An' 'NUMBER ONE' ain't YOU!
Oh no! It ain't YOU or YOU!
YOU ain't even 'NUMBER TWO'!
(Push de button, pull dat chain
Out come dat lil' brown
Choo-choo train!)
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've got so much
NOTHIN'?)
Wohhhhhh, so whaddya do?
EAT that PORK!
'N EAT that HAM!
Laugh till ya choke
On BILLY GRAHAM!
BROWN MOSES, AARON, 'n ABRAHAM:
They're ALL a waste of TIME
'N it's YOUR ASS that's ON THE LINE!
Wohhhhhh, heah me talkin' to ya, now
IT'S YOUR ASS THAT'S ON THE LINE!
Do what you WANNA
Ohh! Do what ya wanna!
Do WHAT YOU WILL
Do what you will!
Just DON'T MESS UP
Don't mess it!
YOUR NEIGHBOR'S THRILL
Dat's right!
'N when you PAY THE BILL
Aww, when y'pay de bill...
Kindly LEAVE A LITTLE TIP
One-Adam-Twelve...
And help the NEXT POOR SUCKER
See de sucker...
On his ONE WAY TRIP!
(SOME TAKE THE BIBLE!)
Aw, gimme a half a duzzning fo' de hotel ruim!

Humble Pie - "Stone Cold Fever" Ooh stone cold fever, yeah so hard to see
I've got trouble in my backbone since that lonesome day.

Procol Harum - "A Christmas Camel" My amazon six-triggered bride
now searching for a place to hide
still sees the truth quite easily

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - "Benny The Bouncer" Benny was the bouncer at the Palais de Dance
He'd slash your granny's face up given half a chance.
He'd sell you back the pieces, all for less than half a quid
He thought he was the meanest
Until...

so we're sailing for another shore where some other ladies wait.
To throw us silken whispers: catch us by the anchor chains ---
But we...
