Some take the bible for what it's worth

Well, I heard that some sheik
Eb
Bought New Jersey last week
Bb A G F F D G F*
And you suckers ain't gettin' nothing!

Is Hare Rama really wrong
If you wander around with a napkin on
With a bell on a stick
An' your hair is all gone...
(The geek shall inherit nothin')

You say your life's a bum deal

Bb maj7 C
And number one ain't you
Bb maj7 C
You ain't even number two!
Those Jesus freaks, well they're friendly but
The s**t 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 got so much nothin'
So whaddya do?

Eat that pork, eat that ham

F Eb
Do what you wanna, do what you will
