    Lyrics:
    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

    ...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 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.
