DUMB ALL OVER
You can't run a country by a book of religion
Not by a heap or a lump or a smidgeon
Of foolish rules of an ancient date
Designed to make you all feel great
While you fold,spindle and mutilate
Those unbelievers from a neighboring state
TO ARMS!!! TO ARMS!!!..Hooray that's great!
Two legs ain't bad unless there's a crate they ship the parts to mama in
For souvenirs:two ears
Not his,not hers
The Good Book says:"It's gotta be that way!"
But their book says:"Revenge The Crusades!"
With whips 'n chains and hand grenades
TWO ARMS? TWO ARMS?
Have another and another
Our God says:"There ain't no other"
Our God says:"It's all ok!"
Our God says:"This is the way!"
It says in the book"Burn and destroy!"
'And repent,and redeem,and revenge and deploy"
"And rumble thee forth...
To the land of the unbelieving scum on the other side
Cause they don't go for what's in the book and that makes them BAD!"
So verily we must choppeth them up
And stompeth them down
Or rent a nice French bomb to poof them out of existence
While leaving their real estate just where we need it
To use again for temples in which to praise OUR GOD
Hey,let's get serious...
God knows what he's doin'
He wrote this book here 'an the book says
"He made us all to be just like him"...so..
If we're dumb...Then God is dumb...
An maybe even a little ugly on the side...
repeats line to song's end
Frank Zappa: Dumb All Over(From You Are What You Is..1981)
He really takes on the religious freaks with other songs like "Heavenly Bank Account","The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing" and others...My favorite FZ CD...
