Help Yourself
(专辑: Do Wrong Right - 2009)
Even the
devil was an angel before he tried to rush the
throne Lord, they threw him down in hell there all alone and now he builds a
castle out of the
sinners' bones You'd be angry too if you could never go home Well now, I
ain't no preacher, no preacher man's son I
done some bad things but I
like to have my fun A
thousand ways to heaven, a
thousand ways to hell Well I
say, the
good Lord helps those that help themselves So help yourselves now Old man Nicodemus could not make his heart believe He could see that Jesus had some tricks up his sleeve Said now, Oh man, Jesus I
can't do things your way But I
can see you work with somebody big, so I'm backing your play Old man Nicodemus, his pockets they were deep But on the
day the
Romans decided to put Jesus to sleep Jesus could not care for money now or any such thing Old Nicodemus paid to have Jesus just buried like a
king Well now, I
ain't no preacher, no preacher man's son I
done some bad things but I
like to have my fun A
thousand ways to heaven, a
thousand ways to hell Well I
say, the
good Lord helps those that help themselves So help yourselves now Our father art in heaven hallowed be thy name Told Noah "build a
boat" on the
driest of days And everybody in the
neighborhood said old Noah was insane I
guess when the
waters receded now, the
truth was plain Well now, I
ain't no preacher, no preacher man's son I
done some bad things but I
like to have my fun A
thousand ways to heaven, a
thousand ways to hell Well I
say, the
good Lord helps those that help themselves So help yourselves now Moses was a
great man, parted the
waters of the
Red Sea Down the
road to Egypt, he made sure the
slaves were free Well he could speak to God, so they say, yes indeed Well the
noise of his voice would have made our poor ears bleed Moses, he had an army I
tell you all his own They stood in circles outside his very home and when the the
Pharaohs got to killing they left old moses alone but the
Romans drove their nails through old Jesus' bones Well now, I
ain't no preacher, no preacher man's son I
done some bad things but I
like to have my fun Why they got Jesus now and not Moses, who can tell? But they do say, the
good Lord helps those that help themselves So help yourselves now
