Devil's Advocate
It comes as some surprise
That you've pulled the wool over so many eyes,
But what exactly do you want me to do?
To agree with your point of view?
You'd like me to compromise;
Well, I'm sorry, but I don't have a clue!
And I don't think you're very wise
Making all this noise and hullabaloo
About a son of God who dies -
You expect me to be like you?
To fall in with these ancient lies
About some poor, misguided Jew,
To get down on my knees
And pretend this fairy tale is true?
You say he died to 'set us free'?
Well how does that apply to me?
I'm happy in my 'state of sin':
They should send you too the loony bin! !
