Jerry Reed - Semi-Great Predictor lyrics

The man behind the grin had a weapon known as sin And he called himself the Semi-Great Predictor He would always try in vain to logically explain Why Noah saved the Boa constrictor Now Noah seems to think as they slowly near the brink Of embarking in an oversized outrigger That for law and order's sake we must preserve some snakes It's a thousand years before we'll have the trigger He's the Semi-Great Predictor self-appointed self-ordained And he views the world with vision and with tact He ponders human fate and then profoundly states That infinity will take up all the slack Ha ha ha ha ha When the crowd began to beef and they stated disbelief And finally policemen intervened While poultry meat and bread rained down on the Predictor’s head And they took him to the laundry to be cleaned And somewhere in the scrubbing in the washing and the rubbing There came a sudden eclipse of the sun And the ground below us rumbled and above a giant grumbled Blocking out the heavens with his gun He's the Semi-Great Predictor self-appointed self-ordained... And then a little child spoke to the giant and smiled Said don't be a slave to deeds that others think So the giant threw down his gun and joined in all the fun Stood watching as the Great Predictor shrinked Now in the lost and found you can hear the lonesome sound Of the trigger with it's stubborn empty clicking And no one will console the Predictor and his hold Or swallow any dirt that he is kicking He's the Semi-Great Predictor self-appointed self-ordained... It's the other side of infinity boys and reeks with injustice Dictate and covet my return To the rivers of your consciousness To the sanctuary of your mind Ha ha ha ha ha
