Our Lord is a Psychopathic Surgeon in the Sky

Words & Melody by Carol Murphy

Our Lord is a psychopathic surgeon in the sky

He holds all the cards and we don’t ask why

Perfection is his chain-link fence, and no one is getting by

In his LA world of gold and souls and sex on the side

 

No football, no foot fall in the theatre of his reign

Basketball with cotton wool, here we go again

The nurses cringe as the operation comes to an end

And the man lying with his heart exposed is bait once again 

 

Lying in the theatre all his whims are the Lord’s for free

Aooooohhhhh the surgeon slam dunks the ball into open surgery

High fives the doctors as he leaves the discord

Not a word said, because no one ever back chats the Lord

 

Low rider cruising sex broker money to be spent

Looking for indigenous ass to want the whims he’s bent

Caribbean beaches pink sunsets flamingos run into flight

And the Lord pays for a blow job and heads into the night

 

He drinks through his straw and looks at his watch and says, “It’s about time.”

The man watching TV with his wife starts to gag and whine

“I have a deep pain in my heart, and in my head I feel enmeshed and intertwined.”

His wife says, “Let us pray to our Lord, and a way he will find.”

 

Our Lord smiles and wonders about the meaning of the word “kind”

He fills out the paperwork, declaring the man dead, all sealed and signed

And he scrubs his hands and snaps the rubber, as he is inclined

To line up another victim into the playhouse of his mind.

 

Have I crossed the line?
