The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing

Frank Zappa

Some take the bible for what it's worth
When it says that the meek shall inherit the earth
Well, I heard that some sheik
Bought New Jersey last week

    
And you suckers ain't gettin' nothing!

(This line is all single note in the bass except the F at the F.)

Is Hare Rama really wrong
If you wander around with a napkin on
With a bell on a stick
An' your hair is all gone...
(The meek shall inherit nothin')

And you're up against the wall
Well, people, you ain't even got no kind of deal at all
`Cause what they do
In Washington

They just takes care of number one
And number one ain't you
You ain't even number two!

Those Jesus freaks, well they're friendly but
The shit they believe has got their minds all shut
An' they don't even care
Ain't it bleak when you got so much nothin'

So whaddya do?

Eat that pork, eat that ham
Laugh till you choke on Billy Graham
Moses, Aaron and Abraham, they're all a waste of time
And it's your ass that's on the line
(It's your ass that's on the line)

Do what you wanna, do what you will
Just don't mess up your neighbor's thrill
And when you pay the bill
Kindly leave a little tip
And help the next poor sucker on his one way trip

Some take the bible  oh,  oh

(Awww, give me half a dozen for the hotel room)
