The Good Book - Tim Minchin
Life is like an ocean voyage and our bodies are the ships And without a moral compass we would all be cast adrift So to keep us on our bearings the Lord gave us a gift And like most gifts you get it was a book I only read one book but it'sa good book don'tyou know I act the way I act because the good book tells me so If I wanna know how to be good It'sto the good book that I go 'Causethe good book is a book and it is good and it'sa book I know the good book'sgood because the good book says it'sgood I know the good book knows it'sgood because a really good book would You wouldn'tcook without a cookbook and I think it'sunderstood You can'tbe good without a good book 'causeit'sgood and it'sa book And it is good for cookin'I tried to read some other books but I soon gave up on that The paragraphs ain'tnumbered and they complicate the facts I can'tread harry potter 'causethey'reworshipping false Gods and that And Dumbledore'sa poofter and that'sbad 'causeit'snot good Morality is written there in simple white and black I feel sorry for you heathens got to think about all that Good is good and evil'sbad and goats are good and pigs are crap You'llfind which one is which in the good book 'causeit'sgood And it'sa book and it'sa book I had a cat she gave birth to a litter The kittens were adorable and they made my family laugh But as they grew they started misbehavin'So I drowned the little f**kersin the bath When the creatures in your care start being menaces The answers can be found right there in Genesis Chapter 6verse 57Swing your partner by the hand Have a baby if you can But if the voices in your head Say to sacrifice your kid To satiate your loving God'sFetish for dead baby blood It'ssimple faith the book demands So raise that knife up in your hand Before the good book made us good there was no good way to know If a thing was good or not that good or kind of touch and go So God decided he'dgive writing allegoric prose a go And so he wrote a book and it was generally well received The telegraph said this God is reminiscent of the Norse The times said kind of turgid but I liked the bit with horses The Mail said lots of massacres a violent tour de force If you only read one book this year then this one is a book And it is good and it'sa book Swing your daughter by the hand But if she gets raped by a man And refuses then to marry him Stone her to death If you just close your eyes and block your ears To the accumulated knowledge of the last two thousand years Then morally guess what you'reoff the hook And thank Christ you only have to read one book Just because the book'scontents Were written generations hence By hairy desert dwelling gents Squatting in their dusty tents Just because what heaven said Was said before they'dleavened bread Just 'causeJesus couldn'tread Doesn'tmean that we should need When manipulating human genes To alleviate pain and fight disease When deciding whether it'swrong or right To help the dyin'let go of life Or stop a pregnancy when it'sJust a tiny blastocyst There'sno reason why we should take a look At any other book But the good book 'Causeit'sgood And it'sa book And it'sa book And it'squite good Good is good and evil'sbad And kids get killed when God gets mad And you'dbetter take a good look At the good book Guitar score
