The politicians wrote the laws we must live within

That was about ten minutes after God invented sin

God was very clear about not crossing certain lines

 To prop up their system politicians then invented fines

Later Moses had to go up to the mountain for two stones

That was long before the invention of mobile telephones

When he came down he had ten new rules to display

Those were Ten Commandments mortals had to obey

All ten of them had to be learned totally by rote

Your teacher told you none of them would ever be rewrote

Of course, if you sinned you still could get absolution

But The Big Ten can’t be amended like the constitution

You may have thought this was not very democratic

Especially if you died in sin your fate was automatic

There can only be one God the one and only genuine boss

Who sent down his only son to be crucified on the cross

How could he throw out his only son and to earth expel

If I was Jesus I’d have asked to speak to personnel

I’ve wandered off my rant I’m slightly off my mission

Taking about the laws of God and man a terrible imposition

You couldn’t steal or take some other persons life

And you daren’t covet or sleep with someone else’s wife

You couldn’t do anything classified as underhand

Nor go to the Commission to get your neighbors land

You must treat your parents with the greatest respect

And if they whack your little arse you can’t object.

You’ll certainly be going to hell if you don’t act mature

You can never take pleasure from thoughts that are impure

Then the Catholic Church came up five now almost extinct

But to the ten commandments of God, they were clearly linked

They were very specific about Mass and paying your dues

And they’d prefer Confession on a Saturday to drinking booze

Nowhere does it say you can’t play Bingo or gamble in a casino

So I guess you’re not sinning if you bet in OTB or go to Reno

You’d think with all those rules crime would surely decrease

But every budget time there always was a call for more police

Meanwhile, all the politicians go their good old merry ways

And every year they vote themselves a nice big fat raise

And shady things they and friends do they do not question

And feeding at the public trough does not cause any indigestion
