ApologetiX - Amos lyrics

Parody of "Layla" by Eric Clapton (Amos 7:10-17) What are you doin' here, you looney? No-one made you prophesy You'd better run -- you'll die unless you don't You know you're just some foolish guy Amos -- go back to watchin' sheep Amos -- stop makin' prophecies Amos -- are you gonna heed my stern advice? So why'd you visit a foreign nation When your own land is just due south? Goodbye, you fool Don't tell us what to do Or Jeroboam will cut you down Amos -- go back to watchin' sheep Amos -- and sycamore-fig trees Amos -- are you gonna heed my stern advice? We're a successful civilization And our economy's goin' great So please don't say Another word today About our moral lapse and faith REPEAT FIRST CHORUS Amos 7:12-13 Then Amaziah said to Amos, "Get out, you seer! Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there. Don't prophesy anymore at Bethel, because this is the king's sanctuary and the temple of the kingdom."
