A Christian in Iraq (feat. Jesse Merlin, Carly Jibson & 2023 Cast of EXORCISTIC: The Unauthorized Rock Musical Parody of "the Exorcist")

The Untitled Exorcist Rock Musical Parody Experiment Project Act One
Lights up on an archeological dig in Iraq
Something similar but not the infamous film theme trickles in like rain
Dust rises
The earth is a wasps nest of holes
The sun hangs in the sky like the lazy eye of God
Diggers strike picks at soil and rock while a frail old Father Barren takes the stage
Uncovering the small artifact in trembling hands

I might be old with a bad back
But I still wield a mean pick axe
Sometimes I get a lot of flack
For being a Christian in Iraq

I found this piece this stone nicknack
My demon foe is looking back
The evil Pazuzu plans his attack
But I'll remain fast on his track
Might be in DC imagine that
The sun is setting his shadow is black
Over this Christian in Iraq

I've been digging for a long time
The Devil is taboo now so I toe the line
Baby watch yourself
The only evil is in the human mind
My Cardinal tells me old man
Make peace with your demons
Make peace with your demons
Make peace with your demons
Ooh

Enter two doo wopping Iraqi women wearing raiments
In every doctrine there is a crack
In every doctrine
That makes you heavy in the sack
It makes you heavy in the sack
Do not think that you beat him back
Just cause you're a Christian in Iraq

He is the fiction I am the fact
He is the fact
I am the dentist he is the plaque
He is the plaque
The sun is setting his shadow is black
Black
Black
The clock on the wall ticks ticks ticks stops

The demon almost killed me last time
Baby watch yourself
Wild dogs snapping at my fault lines
It's a sign from Hell
I need pills to keep my heart fine
My doctor tells me just make
Peace with your demons
Make peace with your demons
Make peace with your demons
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
