I found myself upon the beach Where Jesus made his final speech But I wonder what he meant He said, "There's no heavenly ascent No Holy Grail, no Holy Land No Holy footprints in the sand" Then he looked at us with loss Crawled back up on that cross He said, "Nothing can save this lot There ain't no cure for what you all got You're gonna drown in sugar and spice Head my warning and take my advice Repent! Repent! You're kinky and bent You're all hell bound and I'm heaven sent Repent! Repent! It won't do you no good 'Cause you nailed me to this block of wood" Uncle Sam was in the sky Said, "There ain't no apple pie No Liberty, no Hollywood No reward for being good I've been sent to find the cure To make the milk and honey pure But there ain't no Disneyland No Mickey Mouse gonna take your hand Nothing can save your souls Chevrolet can't rebuild you whole The machine has run out of steam You better get with the winning team Repent! Repent! You're kinky and bent You're all hell bound and I'm heaven sent Repent! Repent! It won't do you no good 'Cause you nailed the baby Jesus to a block of wood" I found Mary in my bed Told her no whore would give me head No free love, no easy sex No hickey bleeding from my neck She asked about my one true love A beauty made for dreaming of I told her, with the sins I got No blushing bride will tie my knot She said, "Nothing can save you now I wouldn't bother anyhow I hate people who whine and bitch 'Cause they're rubbed raw where they used to itch Repent! Repent! You're kinky and bent You're all hell bound and I'm heaven sent Repent! Repent! It won't do you no good 'Cause you nailed my baby to a block of wood" Repent! Repent! Repent! Repent! Repent! Repent!

You can't hide on the Judgement Day You can't hide on the Judgement Day Ride your horse to miles away But you can't hide on the Judgement Day There's a rain a-comin' gonna wash us clean There's a rain a-comin' gonna wash us clean Soften the skin of the hard and mean There's a rain a-comin' gonna wash us clean Rivers gonna overflow with blood Rivers gonna overflow with blood A wave of sin brings the killing flood Rivers gonna overflow with blood In any direction, there's no escape Angels coming down to murder and rape Devil's coming up to drag us down There's room for everyone in Satan's town There's a storm a-comin' called Judgement Day There's a storm a-comin' called Judgement Day There's a storm a-comin' called Judgement Day There's a storm a-comin' called Judgement Day You don't wanna be naked on the Judgement Day You don't wanna be naked on the Judgement Day Don't get caught while you're making hay You don't wanna be naked on the Judgement Day The earth will crack to swallow our souls The earth will crack to swallow our souls We'll all fall in that fiery hole Judgement Day gonna swallow our souls In any direction, there's no escape Angels coming down to murder and rape Devil's coming up to drag us down There's room for everyone in Satan's town There's a storm a-comin' called Judgement Day There's a storm a-comin' called Judgement Day There's a storm a-comin' called Judgement Day There's a storm a-comin' called Judgement Day

Goin' to the boozehall with last month's rent Ain't comin' back 'til it's all spent Goin' to the boozehall 'til the sun's comin' up My baby cheats when she plays at cards When she plays at love she's twice as hard Goin' to the boozehall 'til the sun's comin' up When my mood turns melancholic And my heart has lost its frolic The solution is alcoholic The only cure I know for feeling so low Ain't got no pillow to rest my head Tonight this bar stool will be my bed Goin' to the boozehall 'til the stars fade out My buddy's out of luck and that's too bad But better than havin' the luck I've had Goin' to the boozehall 'til the stars fade out When my mood turns melancholic And my heart has lost its frolic The solution is alcoholic It's the only cure I know for feeling so low Been a week since I changed my clothes My baby took my money and gave me woes Goin' to the boozehall 'til the well run dry Tried to pawn my wedding ring But it's made of tin and not worth a thing Goin' to the boozehall 'til the well run dry When my mood turns melancholic And my heart has lost its frolic The solution is alcoholic It's the only cure I know for feeling so low

I got stains on my fingers I can't wash I got 'em in the garden of Heironymus Bosch Where they stuck my nose in a bowl of spice And flowers up my ass to make my breath smell nice I scrub but can't get the stains off my fingers The colour fades, the smell it lingers The Nazis made soap from the fat of the Jews They used it to clean the blood from their shoes We're packed like sardines in this subway train Everybody's fingers got the same yellow stains My blood is as thick and the colour of tar This subway train feels like a Dachau cattle car I wonder in all this bustle With every additional hustle Is it just a hollow muscle Or is it a heart? There's tears in my eyes and pollution in my nose Some fat Texan's cigar is stinkin' up my clothes I lean over and tell him what Sigmund Freud thought Sometimes a cigar is a tobacco covered cock He blows smoke in my face while the train keeps on buckin' I keep turning green and he keeps on suckin' I don't know who they are, I don't know what they want But they're vivisecting virgins in the state of Vermont I subscribe to their newsletter, it comes three times a year They keep manifesting manifestos but none of them are clear To me their talkin' sounds like Stephen Hawkins They offered me a ride, but I'm still walkin' I wonder in all this bustle With every additional hustle Is it just a hollow muscle Or is it a heart?

I was at the zoo, St. Peter was at the gates He had been demoted 'cause one day he woke up late The first cage I saw held wild and savage beasts Peter said to me, "Please don't feed the priests They have the thirst that can't be quenched The thirst that can't be quenched Cursed for eternity With the thirst that can't be quenched" Jesus said to Mary, "There's money to be earned These people need a saviour and some lessons to be learned No you can be healed for less than half the cost And book your seats now for my heath upon the cross You have the thirst that can't be quenched The thirst that can't be quenched Cursed for eternity With the thirst that can't be quenched" The Pope was dying on his gold and feather bed His last wish was to give the Baby Jesus head The Cardinals tossed his corpse out in the mud Then slit his throat and got drunk on his blood They have the thirst that can't be quenched The thirst that can't be quenched Cursed for eternity With the thirst that can't be quenched

I'm a holocaust broker, I deal in fear The world will end within a year I saw it in the tea leaves perfectly clear So sign your life away right over here Sign it over to me I'm immortal, I'm divine And only I can save you If you're tired of singing the pandemic blues Then give me your shirt, I got a deal for you Eleven years ago, whenever that was I shot a kid, just because That's the sort of thing everybody does When you're growing up, looking for a buzz And besides he deflowered my adolescent sister Not that I cared about her at all She was just the Queen of the Shopping Mall I woke well rested one foggy morn Nineteen years from the day I was born I drank myself blind and rented some porn Did everything I could to incur Mamma's scorn But that didn't satisfy my new-found adult needs For Lust, Wrath and Greed So I voted for some guy who made a nice speech Didn't seem to bright but I liked his teeth Then I took a little ride out to the coast Lookin' for the beach that I liked the most When I arrived I was white as a ghost When I left I was burnt like toast Had plenty-a-sand kicked in my face I formed an opinion of the human race It molded my psyche like modeling clay I vowed I'd rule the beach someday Although I'm immortal, I just might Die tomorrow or tomorrow night That's if everything is planned out right I'll just suddenly drop out of sight Get a sex change and pose as my own spouse I've got a million or two in life insurance When you run from yourself you need good endurance

I'm wearin' the Devil's shoes And I'm singing these walkin' blues I've walked many a mile From the Mississippi to the Nile From the Mississippi to the Nile I'm a weary-hearted child I'm weary to the bone My soul have been overthrown Oh Lord above please hear me On my soul please have mercy I'm wearin' the Devil's shoes And I'm singing these walkin' blues I've walked many a mile From the Mississippi to the Nile I'm got a weary-hearted soul Make my weary body whole I'm wearin' the Devil's shoes And I'm signing these walkin' blues
