The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing

While you work the wall
Work the floor
Work the pipe
In serious pain

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
And you suckers ain't getting nothing

Is Hare Rama really wrong
If you wander around
With a napkin on
With a bell on a stick
And your hair is all gone
The geek shall inherit nothing

You say your life's a bum deal
And you're 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
And "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
And 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 and Abraham
They're all a waste of time
And 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
And 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!)
