Gawd and Satan, Gawd and Satan, Those archetypes of fear and guilt and hatin'; You know, my sisters and bro~thers, You can't have one without the -- o~~ther! Nasty old Yahweh, in His heyday, Said good and evil were both under His sway; And that loser Sa~tan, Was the D.A. working for the -- Ma~~n! Bridge: Try, try, try to separate them; It's an illusion. Why, why try to complicate them? You~~ only come to this conclusion: Satanic preachers, fill their bleachers, With such pathetic neurotic creatures; Beneath their high-tech scam~min', The leaders worship good old -- Mam~~mon! Snarlin' and sneerin', so endearin', They think they're scary but all we're fearin', Is that they need more ba~ths, These followers of Left Hand -- Pa~~ths! [Bridge] Should Neopagans, accept these Fagins, The Satanists and other Christo-Pagans? They offer what we la~ck: A poisoned knife, a poisoned knife, A poisoned kni~fe in the -- ba~~ck! Optional verses to add or substitute: Good God, Bad God, Good Cop, Bad Cop, The formula for keeping liars on top; This dualist disa~ster, All goes back to Zoroa~~ster! T.O.S.-ers, C.O.S.-ers, The Internet is full of these B.S.-ers; Their arguments are cal~low, 'Cause way down deep inside they're -- shal~~low!
