The Proceeds of Crime

If you ask me
hanging's too good for him
that bastard deserves everything he gets and more
All that mass destruction
torture, genocide, stirring up hatred
and inciting people to war

It beats me how he got away with it this long
all that stuff in the bible about
"judge not lest you be judged"
Oh yes, very high and mighty--
dossing on a cloud all day
primping his beard
to the strains of a gilded harp
no wonder he kept out of sight
he was having a giraffe and a half

And what about cancer,
malaria, AIDS,
plague, syphilis and gonorrhea
what sort of twisted mind
would conjure up those beauties
for us to enjoy on our deathbeds

I daresay
he had a very dodgy upbringing indeed
but in this case
you can't even blame the parents
because apparently he never had any

Not to mention all those landslides,
earthquakes and doomnamis
people dropping like flies
plus a pope who thinks contraception's a sin
it makes Satan look like an angel
at a kiddie's picnic on Sunday afternoon

And six days to create the universe
talk about a rush job
cowboy builders doesn't come close
then sending the boy down
to play the martyr when it's all gone tits up
the sheer cheek of it

But what I'd like to know is
what about all the money
he's raked in over the years
coining it in every week from fearful congregations
all over the world
What's happened to that?
