In the beginning man wondered to himself
"Why? Why are we even here?"
And yet with each asking of this question
The answer would become less clear
Overwhelmed by fear it was distraction took its place
And so it must have been in the world's first shelter
That they begun the human race
The human race to fill up more and more empty space
And oh how we must have loved the human race
Until one day this one guy said to this other guy
He said, "Hey, man, you seen that guy over there?
Seems like he's got more than any of us ever got
To me that just doesn't seem fair"
Well, the second guy agreed with the first guy
Everybody else did too
They all got so worked up that they figured they knew
What they needed to do
They would divide all his stuff up among each other
After they killed him of course
For they could see no real good reason not to
Just take what they wanted by force
But when they found him he said
"Hey, wait a minute, fellas
I wouldn't kill me just now
You can see that I got more than any of you ever got
Wouldn't you first at least like to know how?"
And with that he had their attention
And with that he went on loud and clear
He said, "You all know how long you have always wondered
We've wondered why oh why are we here
Well, today I'm gonna tell you all about that
I'm gonna teach you about suffering and bliss
I'm gonna teach you all a little about a heaven and a hell
And a God that gave me all this"
Said, "God gave me all this 'cause I'm humble
And he could do the same for you too
But if you're seeking his love in a fiction
What you are doing is the last thing I'd do
You see, God sends killers to hellfire
Both here and then again eternally
And the good live forever in a beautiful heaven
God told me that personally"
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, whee
Who you gonna trust if you can't trust me?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, whee
"So unless you want suffering and heartache
Unless you want troubles and fear
Well, you better find some kind of way to humble yourself
May I suggest helping me clean up around here?
Course I could pay you a little money to do it
But then again more importantly the good Lord would see
He'd see that you was working humbly for something
And he would reward you the same way he's rewarded me"
Well, the crowd didn't know what to do with that information
Nor could they prove that what he was saying wasn't true
And since he had what everybody else thought they wanted
Lord, it seemed like the thing to do
And with that we've rolled into this future
And ain't it a son of a bitch
To think that we would still need religion
To keep the poor from killing the rich
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, whee
Who you gonna trust if you can't trust me?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, whee, baby
There, that'll work
That'll probably work
