God
by normis
When the Second World War
Came to an end
We forgave the Germans
And we were friends
Though they murdered six million
In the ovens they fried
The Germans now too
Have God on their side
– “With god on our side”, Bob Dylan
And when his humble TV servant
With humble white hair
And humble glasses
And a nice brown suit
And maybe a blond wife who takes
phone calls
Tells us our God says
It’s okay to do this stuff
Then we gotta do it,
‘Cause if we don’t do it,
We ain’t going up to *heaven!*
(Depending on which book you’re using
at the time…Can’t use theirs… it don’t work
…it’s all lies…Gotta use mine…)
– “Dumb all over”, Frank Zappa
