Nimrod

Crusin the Tower of Babel
Making my way to the top
Watch while I'm fittin' my arrow
Carefully takin' my shot

Now Eve did beget Kain and Abel
they bickered and one of them died
dependin' on kindness of strangers
Kain fell in with another tribe

Now tell me where did that tribe come from?
and why wasn't I told before?
That outside the Garden of Eden
You can throw in your lot with the poor

Ha-le-lu
Ha-le-lu-ya
He-le-lu
Ha-le-lu-yeah

Surrounded by nothing but water
While mankind has to take the fall
The man with the animals looks out to see
Says, "I ain't having no fun at all!"

An' what's wrong with sodding Gommorah?
an' why did you throw in your lot?
an' hang hang out with all of his daughters
What's he have that I havent't got?

An' what about Jacob and Isaac
The poor man almost killed his son
with a bush and a goat for a punch line
Is this really your idea of fun?

An' what about the poor folks in Jericho
Now tell me how you've got the gall
To go and blow your own trumpet like that
when you're the one who killed them all

Ha-le-lu
Ha-le-lu-ya
He-le-lu
Ha-le-lu-yeah

You killed your son for my sinning
you let them nail him on a cross
And all the preceding confusion
your absence would be nobody's loss

Now I'm gonna have me a party
Yeah, I'm gonna have me a ball
And I don't want you to forgive me
'Cause I haven't been bad at all

You've heard of the tree in the forest
the one that we ever heard fall
Then how do you know the tree's out there?
Or even a forest at all?

Crusin the Tower of Babel
Making my way to the top
Watch while I'm fittin' my arrow
Carefully takin' my shot
 

Ha-le-lu
Ha-le-lu-ya
He-le-lu
Ha-le-lu-yeahHa-le-lu
Ha-le-lu-ya
He-le-lu
Ha-le-lu-yeah
