"The Greatest Story Ever Told" lyrics

(The good news I bring you is this: Your captivity is over)

Good luck being perfect, now I'm back in town
Raising your standards ain't gonna save you now
Your moral hygiene always ends in tears
Do-goods feel good spreading their zeal like gonorrhoea
Yeah, you've gotta keep it simple stupid, there ain't no free lunch
The bigger they are, the harder that they punch
I was big once but these days it's all about crazy schemes
That kings and vermin hatch for in-betweens
Now I'm back, Jack, tellin' ya come down off your cross
Somewhere out there it's surely five o'clock

But hey
Hey
Hey
Oh, nobody listens to me anyway

I'm saying there ain't no end of days
This ain't the middle ages
There's no grails, there's no safe bets
What you see is what you get

But hey
Hey
Hey
Hey, nobody listens to me anyway, now

There ain't no happy end
No matter how hard you pretend
Just keep on running, running off your mouth
And see how that works out for you

When I, I said I loved youse I was lying, it ain't true
So do to others as I do to you
I've come, I'm done, have fun, I gotsta bid you farewell
The truth is out there, I'll see yas in hell
