          Dogmatised Opinions

          © Skeptico Music--BMI


Well I was gettin' down the road
Been broke for quite a spell
When I came across the Devil
Down by the wishin' well
He said Hey boy come lemme sell ya'
I got a deal you can't refuse
I'm gonna' solve all your problems
Gonna' end your worldly blues.

He said Now I can get ya money
Get ya' power, get ya' fame
I can get any woman you want
To beg down and cry your name
Yeah I can get you all you ask for
And all you gotta do
Is kick back and enjoy it
And quit lookin' for the truth.

I said Well hey there Mr. Devil
Maybe I can be sold
'Cause harps, halos, and streets o' gold
Must get pretty old
But I think I'll take my chances
I'm gettin' closer to the truth
And I'm gonna find some answers
Before I sell out to you.

He said Well boy then lemme bet ya'
I get your soul if you don't win
But if I lose you get everything you want
And I'll overlook all o' your sins
It's just a friendly little wager
But the truth you must deduce
Is it Krishna, Marx, Mohammed,
Buddah, Jesus Christ, or Zeus?

I said You got a deal Mr. Devil
Shook his hand and tried to think
Then I said Let's head on into town
I'm gonna' buy you a drink
I'm gonna' answer by example
'Cause in my own personal view
The only thing makes any sense
Is the good old Golden Rule.

Yeah, it's those dogmatised opinions
Draggin' down Humankind
Keepin' people in their places
Stickin' dogma in their lives
Like in the Middle East and Ireland
They all got God on their side
And they justify their killin'
'Cause their god says it's all right.

The Devil said That ain't no answer boy
And he pointed down the well
Then he said I'll cast your ass down there
If you try to renege on our deal
I'll get your soul and you'll get nothin'
So your stallin' ain't no use
Is it Krishna, Marx, Mohammed,
Buddah, Jesus Christ, or Zeus?

I said Now just a minute Mr. Devil
No single answer's right
What kind o' God needs adulation
To help Him sleep at night
God's gotta be more than fair
And there's no limit to God's love
So the answer Mr. Devil
Must be all of Thee above.

It ain't some dogmatised opinion
Gonna' get ya' any higher
And it ain't no fancy ritual
Gonna' save ya' from no fire
And it ain't some two-faced TV preacher
Who swears he's so damned right
Sayin' God forgives the sinner
So capital punishment is just fine.

I say the Lord doesn't make distinctions
Between the Christians and the Jews,
Moslems, commies, Moonies,
Buddhists or Hindus
We're all in this together
We all got the Golden Rule
To do unto others
As you'd have 'em do unto you.

Seems every dogmatised opinion
Says the others are made o' lies
They all got different notions
'Bout what it's like in paradise
They say the only way to get there
Is to follow their advice
Or their god he will destroy you
If you don't agree they're right.

I say we're all in this together
We all lose or we all win
And as sure as we're here today
We're gonna' be born again
We're all in this together
We all got the Golden Rule
To make the world a better place
To be born back into.

Well the Devil scowled and stomped his hoof
And sealed up the well
Then he said he'd had his fingers crossed
When we shook hands on our deal
He wouldn't gimme any satisfaction
Wouldn't even say if I was right
He just said, Boy you been cheatin'
And I'll get you good next time.
