Thing-fish:
Welcome to the quentin robert de nameland video chapel of economic worship!

Ensemble: (singing)
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 s*ckers ain't gettin' doodly!

Is all de mammys really wrong,
If we's wandrin' aroun'
Wit' de nakkin on?
Big ol' lips like a duck,
While we's singin' dis song,
(evil prince, people, he cain't do nothin'!)

Thing-fish:
You say yo' life a 'bum deal',
'n yo' 'up against de wall'?
Well, people, you ain't got no kinda
'deal' at all!

Now de shit dey be doin'
Down in washingtum,

Ensemble:
Dey just takes care

Thing-fish:
Dey takin' care

Ensemble:
Of number one

Thing-fish:
O' 'number one',

Ensemble:
An' 'number one' ain't you!

Thing-fish:
Oh no! it ain't you or you!

Ensemble:
You ain't even 'number two'!

Thing-fish:
(push de button, pull dat chain,
Out come dat lil' brown
Choo-choo train!)

Ensemble:
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've got so much nothin'? )

Thing-fish:
So whaddya do?

Ensemble:
Eat that pork!
Eat that ham!
Laugh till ya choke
On billy graham!
Brown moses, aaron, 'n abraham:
They're all a waste of time,
'n it's your a*s that's on the line!

Thing-fish:
Wohhhhhh, heah me talkin' to ya, now,
It's your a*s that's on the line!

Ensemble:
Do what you wanna,

Thing-fish:
Ohh! do what ya wanna!

Ensemble:
Do what you will,

Thing-fish:
Do what you will!

Ensemble:
Just don't mess up

Thing-fish:
Don't mess it!

Ensemble:
Your neighbor's thrill,

Thing-fish:
Dat's right!

Ensemble:
'n when you pay the bill,

Thing-fish:
Aww, when y'pay de bill...

Ensemble:
Kindly leave a little tip,

Thing-fish:
One-adam-twelve...

Ensemble:
And help the next poor s*cker

Thing-fish:
See de s*cker...

Ensemble:
On his one way trip!
(some take the bible!)

Thing-fish:
Aw, gimme a half a duzzning fo' de hotel ruim!
