They Know Just Where It's At



Rabbis act rabbinical
Reading from the Torah
Priests in their confessionals
Hear more than they should oughta

Reverends, puritanical
With sharp acuity
Can often act sat-an-i-cal
While preaching purity

They claim they know what's right for all
They know just where it's at
Scientists weren't right at all
Claiming earth was round not flat

Their God-like ways, though assuasive
For the calm that some do need
For me, they're as persuasive
As "the earth is flat"...Indeed!!!

A bible basher informed me '' you will goo to the pit of fire ''. To which I reployde: '' Well at least I wont be a ''winging pom'' complaining of the cold no more!''. And he's a friend!
