Helping The Ordained

 

 



 

In pulpits all across the Empire this coming weekend, preachers, ministers, pastors, cos-playing Catholic Bishops, rectors, deacons and priests will be twisting themselves into emotional, crocodile-tear-spurting little knots to try and spin the most recent child massacre in Gilead.

If I may be of service to God's holy men and women - here is Roger Waters' explanation. It's direct, catchy, has Jeff Beck on guitar and (and) happens to be theologically sound.. 
 
Note: One could use this as background music to one's sermon, or (or) simply replace one's sermon completely with this song.


What God wants
 
What God wants God gets God help us all
What God wants God gets
The kid in the corner looked at the priest
And fingered his pale blue Japanese guitar
The priest said
God wants goodness
God wants light
God wants mayhem
God wants a clean fight
What God wants God gets
Don't look so surprised
It's only dogma
The alien prophet cried
The beetle and the springbok
Took the Bible from its hook
The monkey in the corner
Wrote the lesson in his book
What God wants God gets God help us all
God wants peace
God wants war
God wants famine
God wants chain stores
What God wants God gets
God wants sedition
God wants sex
God wants freedom
God wants semtex
What God wants God gets
Don't look so surprised
I'm only joking
The alien comic cried
The jackass and hyena
Took the feather from its hook
The monkey in the corner
Wrote the joke down in his book
What God wants God gets
God wants boarders
God wants crack
God wants rainfall
God wants wetbacks
What God wants God gets
God wants voodoo
God wants shrines
God wants law
God wants organised crime
God wants crusade
God wants jihad
God wants good
God wants bad
What God wants God gets
