This came on Pandora while I was driving and it went "The Good Lord helps those that -- Take the next left on Washington Avenue." Had to share it somewhere.
Even the devil was an angel before he tried to rush the throne Lord, they threw him down in hell there all alone And now he builds a castle out of the sinners' bones You'd be angry too if you could never go home Well now, I ain't no preacher, no preacher man's son I done some bad things but I like to have my fun A thousand ways to heaven, a thousand ways to hell Well I say, the good Lord helps those that help themselves So help yourselves now Old man Nicodemus could not make his heart believe He could see that Jesus had some tricks up his sleeve Said now, Oh man, Jesus I can't do things your way But I can see you work with somebody big, so I'm backing your play Old man Nicodemus, his pockets they were deep But on the day the Romans decided to put Jesus to sleep Jesus could not care for money now or any such thing Old Nicodemus paid to have Jesus just buried like a king Well now, I ain't no preacher, no preacher man's son I done some bad things but I like to have my fun A thousand ways to heaven, a thousand ways to hell Well I say, the good Lord helps those that help themselves So help yourselves now Our father art in heaven hallowed be thy name Told Noah "build a boat" on the driest of days And everybody in the neighborhood said old Noah was insane I guess when the waters receded now, the truth was plain Well now, I ain't no preacher, no preacher man's son I done some bad things but I like to have my fun A thousand ways to heaven, a thousand ways to hell Well I say, the good Lord helps those that help themselves So help yourselves now Moses was a great man, parted the waters of the Red Sea Down the road to Egypt, he made sure the slaves were free Well he could speak to God, so they say, yes indeed Well the noise of his voice would have made our poor ears bleed Moses, he had an army I tell you all his own They stood in circles outside his very home And when the the Pharaohs got to killing they left old moses alone But the Romans drove their nails through old Jesus' bones Well now, I ain't no preacher, no preacher man's son I done some bad things but I like to have my fun Why they got Jesus now and not Moses, who can tell? But they do say, the good Lord helps those that help themselves So help yourselves now..
I grew up in a religious household, and went to sunday school untill I was 18. Im not religious now, but theese biblical caracters, and stories still haunt my mind, after all theese years. I think about them with the same scepticism, just as in the song. Good to see, that someone else has the same kind of toughts, on the other side of the world.
Being raised Roman catholic should be a crime for real that shit is criminal. All these religious hypocrites saying we need religion in school wouldn't say the same shit about Islam, it's the epitome of hypocrisy especially considering the track record of catholics and kids(should say something instead of and but I won't), it's the last thing we need!
Jesus taught in parables and stories to help people understand. The religious hypocrites teach in principles that no one can understand or live by so everyone thinks they are going to hell. Be careful who the teacher is.
Question everything. There's nothing wrong with it. Question your parents, question your grandparents, question your existence, question your master. Only after you complete all of these, will you be a master as well.
...they left old Moses alone... But the Romans drove those nails through ol' Jesus' bones. These guys see much. So few fans seem to understand, which I can imagine must be pretty discouraging.
It shows they can see past the bible and what happened in the book while still being able to sing about it in a serious manor. They see its flaws as do we and everyone else should as well believer or not.

I appreciate this.
Awesome lol
Wwrŕ
Too funny!!😂
Even the devil was an angel before he tried to rush the throne
Lord, they threw him down in hell there all alone
And now he builds a castle out of the sinners' bones
You'd be angry too if you could never go home
Well now, I ain't no preacher, no preacher man's son
I done some bad things but I like to have my fun
A thousand ways to heaven, a thousand ways to hell
Well I say, the good Lord helps those that help themselves
So help yourselves now
Old man Nicodemus could not make his heart believe
He could see that Jesus had some tricks up his sleeve
Said now, Oh man, Jesus I can't do things your way
But I can see you work with somebody big, so I'm backing your play
Old man Nicodemus, his pockets they were deep
But on the day the Romans decided to put Jesus to sleep
Jesus could not care for money now or any such thing
Old Nicodemus paid to have Jesus just buried like a king
Well now, I ain't no preacher, no preacher man's son
I done some bad things but I like to have my fun
A thousand ways to heaven, a thousand ways to hell
Well I say, the good Lord helps those that help themselves
So help yourselves now
Our father art in heaven hallowed be thy name
Told Noah "build a boat" on the driest of days
And everybody in the neighborhood said old Noah was insane
I guess when the waters receded now, the truth was plain
Well now, I ain't no preacher, no preacher man's son
I done some bad things but I like to have my fun
A thousand ways to heaven, a thousand ways to hell
Well I say, the good Lord helps those that help themselves
So help yourselves now
Moses was a great man, parted the waters of the Red Sea
Down the road to Egypt, he made sure the slaves were free
Well he could speak to God, so they say, yes indeed
Well the noise of his voice would have made our poor ears bleed
Moses, he had an army I tell you all his own
They stood in circles outside his very home
And when the the Pharaohs got to killing they left old moses alone
But the Romans drove their nails through old Jesus' bones
Well now, I ain't no preacher, no preacher man's son
I done some bad things but I like to have my fun
Why they got Jesus now and not Moses, who can tell?
But they do say, the good Lord helps those that help themselves
So help yourselves now..
The only reason I went to the comments! Thank you sir
Thank you, lyric man.

Can you imagine how many men put their own words on the bible? I don't believe there is something original in that.
agreed. Good to see someone willing to slap something else down with them and still make good music.
Squat, or sit up. -------> my tummy so far so good
I love this. I've been listening to them for a couple of years now. Always a treat
