| Matthew told me that the Roman I.R.S. |
| likes Jews |
| He also told me, pay your way, you never know what they’ll tax |
| Just the other day I heard of the soldiers hauling off |
| Some income-needy chump for holding out |
| Money’s always tight |
| But taxing’s all right |
| It just seems a bit severe |
| So render to Caesar but don’t give yourself away |
| Peter says, yeah, Matthew’s right -- they’re greedy, tough, and mean |
| Before repenting Matthew worked taking tax for those Philistines |
| Now I had heard to tax the Jews was only for the Lord |
| So tell me is it wrong for Rome to own us all these years? |
| Whenever that one was brought to Jesus |
| You know what He said? |
| Every dime you’ve got has Caesar |
| Where they put the head |
| When I look at Roman cash there’s Romans on the front |
| To Romans render what is Rome’s and give God whatever’s God’s |
| Matthew’s all right, Mark is all right, Luke is all right, John’s all right |
| They all are right |
| Mark 12:17 |
| Then Jesus said to them, «Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s |
| And to God what is God’s.» |
| And they were amazed at him |
