Aesop Rock - Holy Smokes lyrics

[{background vocals i.e. Aesop Rock} (sampled vocals i.e. NOT Aesop)] [Intro: Various Samples] (Give him one of these pills if he has any pain) (A parable....What is it? Well it's a little story with a lot of truth An earthly story with a heavenly meaning Jesus told many parables to grown-ups and children alike He told them simply and sincere, in words everyone could understand So that all might learn the lesson he was trying to teach...) (Yeah!) [Verse Intro: Aesop Rock] They were selfish with the helmets on the little bus 'Till brick fluid sewage crippled up the get-retorted nickel punks Slowly cope but swore his lowly robot vole evoke Would someday rise in sections to interrogate the Holy Ghost (I knew it!) [Verse: Aesop Rock] Holy smokes! Father, black suit white collar Kiddie p**n dungeon, guns, and three fingers for your daughters Caught belly-up, antique Nazi paraphernalia You can not pay you bills with holy water and Hail Mary luck (Oh my!) Shut this f**er, enjoy the Alcatraz shower fun and mommies Madame cliche generation Agnostic front It ate the nifty fate, the 1958 before the New-New Testament approved altar-boy fistic rape And "take me to your leader" lung as he dope manipulate toddler-fever (Leave him alone!) Call me crazy but I'll bet that wasn't God's demeanor Saw the meter peaking (Me too!) Along island was Jesus every weekend spoon-fed to appease traditional love bringing of a little Pennsylvania sh**-hole where elders movement stressed the stellar therapeutic Bible cycle {How?} One church with a fate and tackle store next door and not much MORE So the two moved to New York, made babies raised on what they SAW Christmas morning smelled fresher than angel p**y But immaculate conception came second to playful goodies Like laser-tag was way more spiritual than blood and body wafer bags And mangier staff is swung as Santa ate the cookies (Well...) When I was a saint [?] paint with snakes in Belize said If only you'd memorized your prayers like you did your Kool-G! By the time I was old enough to know what religion was I was Catholicism-numb and truly didn't give a (fu*k!) 94' Moved out the crib and it ain't seen a steeple since What Knievel-evil seeps in a Christian leader's pitch 'till priests slack, slapped with parental advisory warnings I'll be auditioning God's in my office on Monday morning [Chorus: Various Samples & Aesop Rock] (Yeah!) [Scratched throughout chorus] Uh oh! And yet another pill slipped down the hatch and pa** 'em through the k**-switch I need a couple A's for Q's I'm not an a**hole I'm just a little confused [Interlude: Sampled] (This story reminds us of the one Jesus told about people who were kind and helpful to others. He said that one day the king would say to these people: Come. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you. For when I was hungry you gave me food When I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me But the people asked, when Lord did we see you hungry and feed you? Or sick or in prison and come to you? and the king answered: In as much as you have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren You have done it unto me) (Yeah!) [Chorus: Aesop Rock] Just a little bruise in the back of the pews Acting amused with a mask on them Vatican blues For in the eyes of the organization I was raised in Aes is just another cynic-brick in Hell's basement Cubicle adjacent to the k**ers and rapists For what? Drugs and f** it, It's part of growing up Like cups over dumb sh**s better than the schools I'm not an a**hole I'm just a little confused Just a lit fuse in the back of the pews Watching a thousand flavors of the same God feud I figure ultimate-peace is the common theme So its a no-brainer piece when the blood hit the screen Got a basic good and evil sensibility born Good neighbor know a halo [?] from horns The more science invade, the more the karma than bread and booze I'm not an a**hole I'm just a little confused Not an a**hole I'm just a little confused Not an a**hole I'm just a little confused Not an a**hole I'm just a little confused (You know what Aesop, to be completely honest you're a f**ing a**hole)
