Alternate Mandelbrot Set Lyrics

edited May 2006 in JoCo Music
After reading the discussion on Code Monkey PG lyrics, which I agree that swear words should be censord from young children.

I had the incredible urge to use the lyric "You're one badass fucking savior". It's not perfect, but here it is.

Repent all ye sinners! cried the trinitarian Christian!
Every one of them a splinter of the crown
I hate the tempatations of the devil
I fear the firey pits of hell
and the fate of the unsaved make me want to cry
And two thousand years ago a holy angel flapped its wings
On a cold December day a man named Jesus of Nazareth was born

His disdain for worldly persuits and his unique biological birth right
Left him well equipped to face those demons down
He saw that sins of all humanity could be cleared away with his blood
He used his giant heart to turn the game around
And he looked up to the heavens and saw a vision in his head
A splintered cruiciform
He wore a thorny crown and bore these burdens down

Take a man named Jesus in the place of me
Let my sins be washed away
And let all sins be washed away
And let your sins be washed away and so on
If you believe in him as you say
Your sins will be gone, washed away
That spirit, is it in your heart yet

Jesus H Christ you're what we needed most
You're a get into heaven waiver
You're the father, the son, the holy ghost
You're one badass fucking savior
And you’re just in time to save the day
Sweeping all our sins away
You can change the world in a major way

Christ in now heaven, he resurected after being 3 days dead
Right now he’s the way to heaven and it's really quite a tale
He gave us order out of chaos, he gave us hope where there was none
And his religion succeeds where others fail
If you ever lose your way, a holy angel will flap its wings
From a gazillion miles away, a little miracle will come to take you home

Take a man named Jesus in the place of me
Let my sins be washed away
And let all sins be washed away
And let your sins be washed away and so on
If you believe in him as you say
Your sins will be gone, washed away
That spirit is it in your heart yet

Jesus H Christ you are what we needed most
You're a get into heaven waiver
You're the father, the son, and the holy ghost
You're one badass fucking savior
And you’re just in time to save the day
Sweeping all our sins away
You can change the world in a major way
And you’re just in time to save the day
Sweeping all our sins away
You can change the world in a major way
Go on change the world in a major way
Come on change the world in a major way

  • Nikmis: you're lucky the arguers over on the backmasking post haven't noticed this yet. Nice job on the waiver-savior rhyme...
