Works Praise and Worship

Works, Praise and Worship

1. One of the characteristics in praise and worship is declaring God’s works in song.

a. Psalm 9:1, 2 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

2. Singing was used by Israel to tell of God’s great victories over the enemies of God.

a.  Exodus 15:1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

3. We praise God by declaring His works as great and putting the words to music.

a. Psalm 92:1-5 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
92:2 To shew forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
92:3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
92:4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
92:5 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

4. All of the preceding points, examples of God’s works, of His victories over His and our enemies on our behalf abound in the Scriptures, especially in the Psalms, which by the way, are also examples of God’s Covenant people worshipping and praising Him by putting those accounts to music. Never will you see in Scripture, God’s Covenant people praising the enemies of God and His people. Then why do we have Christians, God’s Covenant people listening to and enjoying songs that lift up and exalt or “praise” the enemies of God and enemies of God’s people? Well let’s look at some of those enemies. Scripture is clear about who God’s enemy is and who our enemy is. Our enemy is the devil and his intent is to deceive the whole world.

a. Matthew 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

b. Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

5. In the Book of John Jesus said the children of the devil will do the lusts or works of their father and the Apostle Paul backed up that same Scriptural truth in the book of Ephesians.

a. John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

b. Ephesians 2:2, 3 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

6. The lusts and works of the flesh which are characteristics not only of the devil but also his children, are clearly spelled out in the book of Galatians.

a. Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

b. In light of these points and in light of the previous study on the origin of music and the origin and fall of Lucifer, we can come to the definite conclusion that Satan is at work in the secular musical culture.  If I enjoy listening to a song that glorifies one of the lusts or works of the flesh, what am I doing? Whose works or desires or lusts are being exalted and lifted up? Whose characteristics are being praised? Is it just music? Well, let’s see, let’s look at what the Scripture says. Below I have listed the works of the flesh from Galatians 5 along with the Greek definitions and underneath each definition I have examples of songs from popular culture that exalt that particular lust. Under some of the definitions I do not have any examples of songs, because I can’t think of any.  Also, some of the songs could be listed underneath more than one definition.  

Works of the flesh: Galatians 5:19-21

1. Adultery [3430 * moicheia] [Zodhiates: involves at least one person who is married.] [Dictionary: voluntary sexual intercourse between a married man or woman and a partner other than the legal spouse.]

a. Me and Mrs. Jones [Billy Paul]
Me and Mrs. Jones, we got a thing going on, We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now. We meet ev'ry day at the same cafe,
Six-thirty I know she'll be there, Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox plays our favorite song. Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones,
Mrs. Jones got a thing going on, We both know that it's wrong, But it's much too strong to let it cool down now. We gotta be extra careful that we don't build our hopes too high.
Cause she's got her own obligations and so do I.
Me, me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones got a thing going on,
We both know that it's wrong, But it's much too strong to let it cool down now.
Well, it's time for us to be leaving, It hurts so much, it hurts so much inside,
Now she'll go her way and I'll go mine, But tomorrow we'll meet the same place, the same time.

 2. Fornication [4202 * porneia] [Strong: harlotry (including adultery and incest); figuratively, idolatry:--fornication.] [Blue Letter Bible: illicit sexual intercourse, adultery, fornication, homosexuality, lesbianism, intercourse with animals etc., sexual intercourse with close relatives; sexual intercourse with a divorced man or woman; metaph. the worship of idols, of the defilement of idolatry, as incurred by eating the sacrifices offered to idols.]

a. You shook me all night long [AC/DC]
“She was a fast machine She kept her motor clean She was the best damn woman I had ever seen. She had the sightless eyes, Telling me no lies. Knockin' me out with those American thighs. Taking more than her share. Had me fighting for air. She told me to come but I was already there.”

b. Live with me [Rolling Stones] Third stanza
“Whoa, the servants they're so helpful, dear. The cook she is a whore. Yes, the butler has a place for her behind the pantry door. The maid, she's French, she's got no sense, she's wild for Crazy Horse. And when she strips, the chauffeur flips, the footman's eyes get crossed.
Don'cha think there's a place for us, right across the street. Don'cha think there's a place for you, in between the sheets?”

c. Run Like hell [Pink Floyd]
“You better fun like hell, you better run all day, and run all night, and keep your dirty feelings deep inside. And if you take your girlfriend out tonight, you better park the car
well out of sight, Cos if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks, they’re gonna send you back to mother in a cardboard box.”

d. Walk on the wild side [Lou Reed]
Holly came from Miami, Fla. Hitchhiked her way across the USA.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way, shaved her leg and then he was she - she said:
Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side, said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
Candy came from out on the island, in the backroom she was everybody’s darling.
But she never lost her head, even when she was given head - she said, Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side. Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side. And the coloured girls go, doo dodo. Little Joe never once gave it away, Ev'rybody had to pay and pay. A hustle here and a hustle there. New York city is no place where they said: Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side. Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side. Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and a place to eat. Went to the Apollo, you should have seen him go go go - they said: Hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side, Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side. Jackie is just speeding away, Thought she was James Dean for a day.
Then I guess she had to crash, Valium would have helped that bash - she said:
Hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side, said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
And the coloured girls go, doo dodo.

e. Born this way [Lady GaGa]
It doesn't matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M, Just put your paws up, 'cause you were born this way, baby. My mama told me when I was young, we are all born superstars. She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on, in the glass of her boudoir. "There's nothing wrong with loving who you are" She said, "'Cause he made you perfect, babe" "So hold your head up girl and you'll go far, Listen to me when I say" I'm beautiful in my way, 'Cause God makes no mistakes, I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way, Don't hide yourself in regret. Just love yourself and you're set, I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way
Oh there ain't no other way. Baby I was born this way. Baby I was born this way. Oh there ain't no other way. Baby I was born this way. I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way, Don't be a drag ‒ just be a queen [x3] Don't be! Give yourself prudence. And love your friends. Subway kid, rejoice your truth. In the religion of the insecure. I must be myself, respect my youth ,A different lover is not a sin, Believe capital H-I-M (Hey hey hey)
I love my life I love this record and Mi amore vole fe yah (Love needs faith). Don't be a drag, just be a queen. Whether you're broke or evergreen. You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're Lebanese, you're orient. Whether life's disabilities left you outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today, 'cause baby you were born this way. No matter gay, straight, or bi, lesbian, transgendered life. I'm on the right track baby, I was born to survive. No matter black, white or beige, chola or orient made, I'm on the right track baby. I was born to be brave. I was born this way hey! I was born this way hey! I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way hey! I was born this way hey! I was born this way hey! I'm on the right track baby. I was born this way hey! Same DNA, but born this way. Same DNA, but born this way.

3. Idolatry [1497 * eidolon] [Zodhiates: An image or representation whether corporeal or imaginary or some other thing. In Classical Greek, used for a statue of man or even for a concept of the mind, and imaginary deity.]

a. idolatry [1495 * eidololatria; eidolon-idol; latreia-service, worship] [Zodhiates: Idolatry.] [D.C. note: Service or worship to an idol].[Vine: In Romans 1:22-25, idolatry, the sin of the mind against God, and immorality Ephesians 2:2, 3, the sins of the flesh are associated and are traced to the lack of the acknowledgement of God…an idolater is a slave to the depraved ideas his idols represent: Galatians 4:8, 9, and thereby to diverse lusts: Titus 3:3.

1). Heroes End [Judas Priest]
I heard a human voice who sang like no one else. I heard a proud lady singing loud
Lived her life as she liked, didn't give a damn. But soon she found she was underground and wasted. I watched her hitting notes as she strutted stage. Her body shook oh, she did her stuff. She screamed and quake, give and take, maybe took too much If you take the smooth you gotta take the rough. Why do you have to die to be a hero, It's a shame a legend begins at its end, Why do you have to die if you're a hero. When there's still so many things to say unsaid. I heard a man's guitar electrify a crowd. I felt the sound shower 'round. And he would take you with him where no music's been before
As you merged the power surge together. His music knew no limits if you were in it's wake. You had no choice, no, but hear its voice. And you would listen hypnotized, and in a dream. But once so strong survive or become weak. Why do you have to die to be a hero. It's a shame a legend begins at its end. Why do you have to die if you're a hero
When there's still so many things to say unsaid. If you gaze across timeless years you'll find them always there. And many gods will join the list compiled with dying care.
Hungry mouths are waiting to bite the hand that feeds, and so the living dead carry on immortal deeds. I saw on silver screen an actor's rise to fame. But fast car user lose
That legend's born from death and that is such a shame, 'cos ev'ry year new ones appear
Why do you have to die to be a hero. It's a shame a legend begins at its end, Why do you have to die if you're a hero, When there's still so many things to say unsaid.

2). Rock n’ Roll Heaven [Righteous Brothers]
If you believe in forever, then life is just a one-night stand, if there's a rock and roll heaven, well you know they've got a hell of a band, band, band.
Jimmy gave us rainbows, and Janis took a piece of our hearts, and Otis brought us all to the dock of a bay. Sing a song to light my fire, remember Jim that way.
They've all found another place, another place to play.
If you believe in forever, then life is just a one-night stand. If there's a rock and roll heaven, well you know they've got a hell of a band, band, band.
Remember bad bad Leroy Brown. Hey Jimmy touched us with that song.
Time won't change a friend we came to know, and Bobby gave us Mack the Knife.
Well look out, he's back in town, They'll all be there together, when they meet in one big show. If you believe in forever, then life is just a one-night stand. If there's a rock and roll heaven, well you know they've got a hell of a band, band, band.
There's a spotlight waiting, no matter who you are, 'Cause everybody's got a song to sing
Everyone's a star. (Everybody's got to be a star). If you believe in forever, then life is just a one-night stand. If there's a rock and roll heaven, well you know they've got a hell of a band. If you believe in forever, then life is just a one-night stand. If there's a rock and roll heaven, Well you know they've got a hell of a band. If you believe in forever, then life is just a one-night stand. If there's a rock and roll heaven, Well you know they've got a hell of a band, band, band.

3). God [John Lennon]
God is a Concept by which we measure our pain. I'll say it again. God is a Concept by which we measure our pain. I don't believe in magic. I don't believe in I-ching. I don't believe in Bible. I don't believe in Tarot. I don't believe in Hitler. I don't believe in Jesus.
I don't believe in Kennedy. I don't believe in Buddha. I don't believe in Mantra. I don't believe in Gita. I don't believe in Yoga. I don't believe in Kings. I don't believe in Elvis.
I don't believe in Zimmerman. I don't believe in Beatles. I just believe in me...and that reality. The dream is over. What can I say? the Dream is Over. Yesterday. I was the Dreamweaver. But now I'm reborn. I was the Walrus. But now I'm John, and so dear friends, you'll just have to carry on. The Dream is over.



4). Imagine [John Lennon]
Imagine there's no Heaven. It's easy if you try. No hell below us. Above us only sky
Imagine all the people, living for today. Imagine there's no countries. It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for. And no religion too. Imagine all the people, living life in peace.
You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one. Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can. No need for greed or hunger. A brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people, sharing all the world.
You may say that I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us,
and the world will live as one.

c. Sympathy For The Devil [Rolling Stones]
 Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste. I've been around for a long, long year, Stole many a mans soul and faith. And I was round when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain. Made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate. Pleased to meet you, Hope you guess my name. But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game. I stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was a time for a change. Killed the czar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain. I rode a tank, held a generals rank when the blitzkrieg raged, and the bodies stank. Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, oh yeah. Ah, what's puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh yeah. I watched with glee while your kings and queens fought for ten decades for the gods they made. I shouted out, Who killed the Kennedys? When after all, It was you and me.

Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah. But what's confusing you is just the nature of my game. Just as every cop is a criminal, and all the sinners saints. As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer, cause I'm in need of some restraint. So if you meet me have some courtesy, have some sympathy, and some taste. Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah. Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name, um yeah. But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down. Oh yeah, get on down.

I put a spell on you, and now you're mine. You can't stop the things I do. I ain't lyyyyyin'.
It's been 300 years right down to the day, now the witch is back, and there's hell to pay.
I put a spell on you and now you're miiiiiine! Hello, Salem! My name's Winifred, what's yours? I put a spell on you and now you're gone. My whammy fell on you and it was strong.
Your wretched little lives have all been cursed, 'cause of all the witches working. I'm the worst! I put a spell on you and now you're mine! [Watch out!] If you don't believe, you'd better get superstitious. Ask my sisters! "Ooh, she's vicious!" I put a spell on you, a wicked spell. I put a spell on you. Sisters! Ah-say-into-pie, Oppa-mabey-uppen-die. "Ah say into pie,
Oppa mabey uppen die". In-kama-koray-ah-ma.

e. Love Potion Number 9 [The Clovers, The Searchers]
I took my troubles down to Madame Rue.  You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine. Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine.  I told her that I was a flop with chics,  I've been this way since 1956.  She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign.  She said "What you need is Love Potion Number Nine" She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink.  She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"  It smelled like turpentine, it looked like Indian ink.  I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink.  I didn't know if it was day or night,  I started kissin' everything in sight.  But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine.





5. Hatred [2189 * echthra] [Thayer: enmity, cause of enmity.][Strong: hostility; by implication, a reason for opposition:--enmity, hatred.]

a. Gives you hell [American Rejects]
I wake up every evening with a big smile on my face, And it never feels out of place. And you're still probably working at a 9 to 5 pace. I wonder how bad that tastes, when you see my face. Hope it gives you hell hope it gives you hell. When you walk my way. Hope it gives you hell hope it gives you hell.  Now where's your picket fence love? And where's that shiny car? And did it ever get you far? You never seemed so tense love I've never seen you fall so hard. Do you know where you are?  And truth be told I miss you. And truth be told I’m lying
When you see my face. Hope it gives you hell hope it gives you hell. When you walk my way. Hope it gives you hell hope it gives you hell. If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well. Then he's a fool you're just as well hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell.  Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself, Yeah where did it all go wrong? But the list goes on and on. Truth be told I miss you, and truth be told I’m lying. When you see my face

You can take back your memories they're no good to me. And here's all your lies you can look me in the eyes. With the sad sad look that you wear so well.  When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell hope it gives you hell. When you walk my way. Hope it gives you hell hope it gives you hell. If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well. Then he's a fool you're just as well hope it gives you hell. When you see my face. Hope it gives you hell hope it gives you hell. (hope it gives you hell!).

impious and reproachful speech injurious to divine majesty.][Strong: vilification (especially against God):--blasphemy, evil speaking, railing.]

1). Jesus was a terrorist [Dead Kennedy’s]
Jesus was a terrorist, enemy of the state. That's what the Romans labeled him, So he was put to death. He died for his beliefs, What's changed today? Today bible-thumping cannibals Reap money from his name, Buy cable networks & power, With old ladies' checks. If Jesus saw Pat Robertson, what do you think he'd say? Tax free then re-write our laws, and sick 'em on you. Women don't control their bodies, TV preachers do. Censor everything from bathing suits, To science books from the schoolroom to the bedroom. They want our thoughts - or else, They treat us like the Romans
Used to treat the Christians. Even some church-going folks are scared. Modern catacombs of fear. Built with money, power, and threats. Rock 'n Roll is labeled porn
Sell a record, you're under arrest. Instead of fighting AIDS, They try to stop us having sex. They brag that they won't quit, Till they take dominion over our lives. Is freedom of speech such a terrorist act, Is spiritual peace such a satanic threat, Believe what you want
But we'll fight to keep, Our heads from being cemented in your sand.

2). Jesus Christ Superstar [Tim Rice]
Every time I look at you I don't understand. Why you let the things you did, Get so out of hand. You'd have managed better, if you'd had it planned. Now why'd you choose such a backward time And such a strange land? If you'd come today you could have reached the whole nation. Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication. Don't you get me wrong
Only want to know. Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ. Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ. Who are you? What have you sacrificed? Jesus Christ, Superstar. Do you think you're what they say you are? Jesus Christ, Superstar. Do you think you're what they say you are? Tell me what you think. About your friends at the top
Now who d'you think besides yourself, Was the pick of the crop? Buddah was he where it's at? Is he where you are? Could Muhammmed move a mountain Or was that just PR?
Did you mean to die like that? Was that a mistake or Did you know your messy death
Would be a record breaker? Don't you get me wrong Don't you get me wrong Don't you get me wrong, now Don't you get me wrong. Only want to know Only want to know.
Only want to know, now I only want to know. Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ. Who are you? What have you sacrificed? Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ. Who are you? What have you sacrificed? Jesus Christ, Superstar Do you think you're what they say you are?
Jesus Christ, Superstar Do you think you're what they say you are? Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ. Who are you? What have you sacrificed? Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ. Who are you? What have you sacrificed? Jesus Christ, Superstar. Do you think you're what they say you are? Jesus Christ, Superstar.  Do you think you're what they say you are?

3). Hymn 43 [Jethro Tull]
Oh father high in heaven -- smile down upon your son, whose busy with his money games -- his women and his gun. Oh Jesus save me! And the unsung Western hero killed an Indian or three and made his name in Hollywood to set the white man free. Oh Jesus save me! If Jesus saves -- well, He'd better save Himself from the gory glory seekers who use His name in death. Oh Jesus save me! I saw him in the city and on the mountains of the moon --His cross was rather bloody --He could hardly roll His stone. Oh Jesus save me!

4). Sheep [Pink Floyd]
Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away; Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air. You'd better watch out! There may be dogs about I looked over Jordan, and I've seen Things are not what they seem. That's what you get for pretending the danger's not real. Meek and obedient you follow the leader Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel. What a surprise! A look of terminal shock in your eyes. Now things are really what they seem. No, this is not a bad dream. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want He makes me down to die Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by. With bright knives He releaseth my soul. He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places. He converteth me to lamb cutlets, For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger. When cometh the day we lowly ones, Through quiet reflection, and great dedication Master the art of Karate, Lo, we shall rise up, And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water. Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream. Wave upon wave of demented avengers March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream. Have you heard the news? The dogs are dead! You better stay home And do as you're told. Get out of the road if you want to grow old.

7. Murders [5408 * phonos] [Thayer: murder, slaughter.]

a. Hey Joe [Billy Roberts]

b. Murder Murder [Eminem]
All I see is murder murder, my mind state Makes it too late for cops in tryin' to stop the crime rate  All I see is murder murder, my mind state Murder, murder, murder, and kill, kill, kill!
Left the keys in the van, with a gat in each hand Went up in Eastland and shot a policeman
Blank a peace plan of citizen bystands But blank is in my hands, here's your life span
For what your life's worth this money is twice than Grab a couple grand and live a nice land
See I'm a nice man but money turned me to Satan I'm thirsty for this green so bad I'm dehydratin' Hurry up with the cash bitch, I got a ride waitin'  Shot a man twice in the back when he tried escapin' I want the whole pie, I won't be denied Nathan. Maybe I need my head inside straightened. Brain contemplatin', clean out the register. Dip before somebody catches ya. Or gets ya description an' sketches ya. The connection was the prime suspect. But I ain't set to flee the scene of the crime just yet. Cuz I got a daughter to feed. And $200 ain't enough to water the seed. The best thing would be for me to leave Taco Bell an' hit up Chess King
And have the lady at the desk bring. Money from the safe in the back, stepped in wavin' the Mac. Cooperate and we can operate and save an attack. This blank tried escapin' the jack
Grabbed her by the throat, it's murder she wrote. You barely heard a word as she choked
It wasn't nuttin' for her to be smoked. But I slammed her on her back 'til her vertebrae broke
Just then the pigs bust in yellin' "Freeze!" But I'm already wanted for sellin' keys. And bunch of other felonies from A to Z like spellin' bees. So before I dropped to the ground and fell on knees. I bust shots, they bust back. Hit the square in the chest, he wasn't wearin' a vest
Left the house, pullin' out the drive backin' out. Need a backin' out this lady's Jag started blackin' out. Pulled the Mac-10 out, stuck it in her face Shut ya yackin' mouth before I blow the brain from out the back ya scalp. Drug her by her hair, smacked her up. Thinkin' blank it, mug her while you're there, jacked her up. Stole her car, made a profit. Grabbed the tape from out the deck and offed it out the window. Like the girl on Set It Off did. Jetted off kid, stole the whip, now I'm a criminal. Drove in thru somebody's yard, dove into they swimmin' pool. Climbed out and collapsed on the patio. I made it out alive but I'm injured badly though
Parents screamin': "Son, go in and call the police. Tell 'em there's a crazy man disturbing all of the peace!" Tried to stall him at least long enough to let me leap up Run in they crib and at least leave with some little cheap stuff. Actin' like they never seen nobody hit a nick before.
Smashed the window, grabbed the Nintendo 64. When they sell out in stores the price triples
I ran up the block jumpin' kids on tricycles. And colliding with an 80-year old lady with groceries. There goes the cheese, eggs, milk and Post Toasties. Stood up and started to see stars. Too many siren sounds, it seemed like a thousand police cars Barely escaped, must-a been some dumb luck. Jumped up and climbed the back of a movin' dump truck. But I think somebody seen me maybe. Plus I lost the damn Nintendo and I must-a dropped the Beanie Baby. Blank it I give up, I'm surrounded in blue suits. Came out with a white flag hollerin' "TRUCE TRUCE!" Surrendered my weapon to cops. Wasn't me! It was the gangsta rap and the peppermint Schnopps

So pour me another, we got nothing but time. Old chug-a-lug-a-lugging bar room buddy of mine. The bartender trying to turn out the lights. Well, maybe it is time we called it a night. Hell, we'll wake up the roosters if we drink them real slow. Well, let's have a double and a six pack to go. We're bar room buddies and that's the best kind. Nobody fools with a buddy of mine.

b. Saturday Night [Elton John]
It's getting late have you seen my mates, Ma tell me when the boys get here. It's seven o'clock and I want to rock Want to get a belly full of beer. My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys, and my old lady she don't care. My sister looks cute in her braces and boots. A handful of grease in her hair.chorus. Don't give us none of your aggravation, We had it with your discipline. Saturday night's alright for fighting. Get a little action in. Get about as oiled as a diesel train. Gonna set this dance alight. 'Cause Saturday night's the night I like. Saturday night's alright, alright, alright. Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight. I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right. I may use a little muscle to get what I need. I may sink a little drink and shout out "She's with me!" A couple of the sound that I really like, are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike. I'm a juvenile product of the working class. Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass.
