The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing lyrics

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 kinda

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? Hey!)

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 your ass that's on the line.

(IT'S YOUR 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 a half a dozen for the hotel room!)
