When you're being pulled in two,

and you don't know what to do,

just repeat this simple phrase:

"Who is it my wages pays?"

This will help you to decide

what to tell, and what to hide.

I think it is extremely odd

the violence we use for God.

As if He needed flesh and bone

to suffer, weep, and always moan.

I think that most religious views

are just a dark satanic ruse

to keep us bickering until

we forget about God's will.

In India or Amsterdam
theology is mostly sham.

Oh, those crafty refugees!
They come and go just as they please.
First they're here and then they're there,
and we get stuck with paying fare!
Why don't they stay put like I do?
I'm satisfied to sit and stew.
Back home they say is terror, yes --
but they don't know the IRS.
Each country has its own designs
for driving us out of our minds . . .
