That clone song see–http://bignoises.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=174 reminds me of the lyrics I wrote to the tune of Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” in January, 2008:
GRACE WHEREFORE ART THOU?
Sung to the tune of Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” (with apologies to Pink Floyd)
Grace has flown across the ocean,
Leaving just a memory
A snapshot in the memory album
“Pharisees” what else did you leave for me?
Yeah, you, what crap did leave behind for me?
All in all it was just a brick in the wall.
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall.
We don’t need no forced religion
We don’t need no thought control
No legalism from the pulpit
Preachers leave them sheep alone
Hey! Preachers! Leave them sheep alone!
All in all it’s just another brick in the wall.
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall.
Worship songs sung by pretending
Repetition, line by line
7 – 11 songs with no ending
Get the crowds whipped into frenzy
Maybe then we’ll feel restored
Yes maybe then we’ll feel restored
Is there tithing in the offering
10% or you’ll go to hell
An expensive building’s in our future
Guilt, guilt, guilt til it starts to smell
Give, give give your 10%
Give, give give your 10%
Is the pastor really suffering?
Is his cheque back “NSF”
Does the Beemer need restoring?
Or the mansion a face-lift?
Give, give, give your 10%
Give, give, give your 10%
Work your way up heaven’s ladder
No matter where your talents lie
All the while you’re getting sadder
Despair, despair is in your eyes.
Despair, despair is in your eyes.
Maybe if I just try harder
Confess my sins to keep me humble
Oops I slipped and took a tumble
Shame, shame is at my core
Shame, shame is at my core.
All in all its just more bricks in the wall.
All in all its just more bricks in the wall.
I need Jesus’ arms around me
And I need His love to calm me.
I have seen the writing on the wall.
We need Him more than anything at all.
Yes, we need Him more than anything at all.
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall.
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall.
