Lyrics The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing - Frank Zappa

The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing

Thing-fish:
Welcome to the quentin robert de nameland video chapel of economic worship!
Ensemble: (singing)
Some take the bible
For what its worth
When it says that the meek
Shall inherit the earth
Well, I heard that some sheik
Has bought new jersey last week,
n you suckers aint gettin doodly!
Is all de mammys really wrong,
If wes wandrin aroun
Wit de nakkin on?
Big ol lips like a duck,
While wes singin dis song,
(evil prince, people, he caint do nothin!)
Thing-fish:
You say yo life a bum deal,
n yo up against de wall?
Well, people, you aint got no kinda
deal at all!

Ensemble:

Well, theyre friendly, but,
The shit they believe
Has got their minds all shut,
An they dont even care
When the church takes a cut!
(aint it bleak when youve got so much nothin?)
Thing-fish:
