Heavenly Bank Account
Frank Zappa
And if these words you do not heed
Your pocketbook just kinda might recede
When some man comes along and claims a godly need
He will clean you out right through your tweed
That's right, remember
There is a big difference between kneeling down and bending over
He's got twenty million dollars in his heavenly bank account
All from those chumps who was born again
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
He's got seven limousines and a private plane
All for the use of his special friends
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
He's got thousand-dollar suits and a wembley tie
Girls love to stroke it while he's on the phone
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
At the House of Representatives, he's a groovy guy
When he gives thanks, he is not alone
He is dealin', he is really dealin'
IRS can't determine where the hook is
It is easy with the bible to pretend that you're in show biz
(And a-one, and a-two, and a)
They won't get him, they will never get him
For the naughty stuff that he did
It is best in cases like this to pretend that you are stupid
(Doh)
He's got presidential help all along the way
He says the grace while the lawyers chew
Oh, yeah
They sure do
And the governors agree to say: "he's a lovely man!"
He makes it easier for them to screw
All of you
Yes, that's true!
'Cause he helps put the fear of God in the common man
Snatchin' up money everywhere he can
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
He's got twenty million dollars in his heavenly bank account
You ain't got nothin', people
(Tax the churches!)
You ain't got nothin', people
(Tax the businesses owned by the churches!)
You ain't got nothin', people
Thank the man
Oh, yeah
That's right
You ain't got nothin'
And they got it all
And your miserable ass
Is up against the wall
The only thing
You have not tried
It's the sport of chumps
And that's suicide
