Lyrics The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing - Live At The Pier, NYC, 1984 - Frank Zappa

Are you work the wall
Work the floor
Work the pipe
In serious pain

Some take the Bible for what it's worth
When it says that the meek shall inherit the Earth
Well, I heard that some sheik has bought New Jersey last week
And you suckers ain't gettin' nothin'

Is Hare Rama really wrong if you wander around
With a napkin on, with a bell on a stick
And your hair is all gone
The geek shall inherit nothin'

You say your life's a bum deal and you're kinda up against the wall
Well, people, you ain't even got no kinda deal at all
Cause what they do in Washington
They just takes care of number one
And number one ain't you
You ain't even number two

Push the button
Pull that chain
I'll punch the little ground
Maybe trainer

Those Jesus freaks, well, they're friendly but
The shit they believe has got their minds all shut
And they don't even care when the church takes a cut
Ain't it bleak when you got so much nothin'

(So what did you do? Hey!)
Eat that pork
Eat that ham
Laugh 'til ya choke
On Billy Graham
Moses, Aaron and Abraham
They're all a waste of time
And it's your ass that's on the line
Think about it (it's your ass that's on the line)

Do what you wanna
Do what you will
Just don't mess up
Your neighbor's thrill
And when you pay the bill
Kindly leave a little tip
And help the next poor sucker
On his one way trip

Some take the Bible-ble-ble
(Aw gimme a half a dozen for the hotel room)
