A DAY IN THE EXODUS Parody of The Beatles' "A Day in the Life" Lyrics by M. Spaff Sumsion
PERFORMED BY RICK CORMIER
I led the Jews today, oh boy Up to this mount - I think it's "Cyanide" And oh the Jews were rather bad But I just raised my staff And smashed their golden calf
It blew my mind, that hand of God I never knew he wore a pinkie ring The crowd was read his new Top Ten They sure complained a lot Nobody was really sure if they'd obey one Thou Shalt Not
I saw a plague today, oh boy The Egypt army, smacked with bugs and frogs The cows and people puked all day But I just held my nose Said: Yo Pha-ra-oh Dude let my Peo... ple... Go...
[An awesome sonic crescendo orchestrates the even awesomer parting of the Red Sea.]
[Then an alarm clock jars Moses into this flashback:]
Got born Got near erased Rode the Nile - a basket case Found by Pharaoh's daughter, what a shock I learned to walk Like an Egyp-ti-an
I was Prince, but whacked a creep Jumped my bail, moved in with sheep Stayed for forty years there, holy smoke A burning bush spoke And I thought I'd gone insane:
"Sla-a-a-aves... Free the SLA-a-a-aves..." (etc.)
MEANWHILE, BACK AT CAMP...
I led the Jews today - oy vey - Right through a hole; the Red Sea disappeared The armies came and it refilled We'll test their swimming skill Best of all, the lot was caught on tape by Cecil B. DeMille
I'd love to Reach... Zi... on...
[The parting of the Red Sea is such a crowd pleaser that the scene is repeated here. (No, it's not parted twice in the Bible, but this is Hollywood.) At the peak of the sea-parting crescendo, the water walls fall in on the Egyptian army to the sound of a final, sustained chord.]
Nothing hypocritical about enjoying people's happiness. Just because I don't believe in God doesn't mean I can't enjoy Santa Claus. My irreligion is not exclusive but inclusive. Some day I hope you see the non-light too!
Christmas is on the dark side. It is full of people enjoying themselves and not listening to cheerless begrudgers.
(We could start a debate about Christmas pre-dating Star Wars but you are already involved in an endless one about the American Constitution so I wouldn't want to tire you out! )
America is not true to Christian morality, therefore I do not accept it as a Christian nation, founded before or after or between the ‘void’ as a Christian country.
Christ says turn the other cheek:
America gets hit by two planes and retaliated practically the next day with bombings and then declares war on Saddam.
When Islamics see Christ's teaching - they are in the Koran and so is he - the country claiming to be in Gods name and in the name of Christianity is a lie to them.
And it causes religious conflict and the feeling of their own justification and righteousness when really no religion is involved:
It was about oil before and it is afterwards still about oil.
Christianity and it's morality is decedent.
Christ himself is another story: and this was known by great minds more than a hundred years ago:
'There was one true Christian, and he died on the cross'.

"Christianity and it's morality is decedent."
Is the word 'decedent' or 'decadent'?
Yes the turmoil in the Middle East is about oil. Who are you backing? Who do you want to win? Our lifestyles are all so tied up in petroleum that we all have a stake in this conflict.
Funny that this region seems to be such a center of global concern
Of course it's just a cosmic accident that all this oil that we have allowed ourselves to become so dependant upon is under the land of the Bible.
SUNDAY I'M IN CHURCH Parody of The Cure's "Friday I'm in Love" Lyrics by M. Spaff Sumsion
I've got Cubs on Tuesday nights Wednesday, Thursday, P.P.I.'s Friday, packing camp supplies And Sunday I'm in church
Wednesday it's the quilting bee Tuesday night, H.F.P.E. On Monday, genealogy And Sunday I'm in church
Saturday - Scouts Bust some service projects out Store some food in case of drought
Tuesday's always temple day Wednesday, Thursday, M.I.A. Friday night, High Priest soiree And Sunday I'm in church
Wednesday, work the welfare farm Thursday, help the Elder's Qarm On Friday night I'll wash the garm -ents, Sunday I'm in church
Saturday's - when Sunday's talks get planned again And Conference for the brether-en
On Sunday I thrive There's meetings till five And then I wait - till home teachers arrive I'm a Temple Square guide I make refreshments with pride I'm in the road show - and the fireside My eternal reward Is to never be bored I teach the youth how to serve the ward It's such uplifting work That I'm going berserk All Sunday I'm in church!
Thursday after basketball Decorate the cultural hall Friday night's the singles' ball And Sunday I'm in church
Wednesday, Thursday, choose the right Tuesday, mix some punch with Sprite Monday's always fam'ly night And Sunday I'm in Church!
