Marcy Shaffer channels Beyoncé Knowles and the Dreamgirls as she skewers the Dumbo Duo of The Geezer and The Mighty Q. He's the hypocrite who writes of the faith of his fathers while he was an adulterer. She invokes the Almighty in the blink of an eye in the midst of glossolalia in her Pentecostal church. Both of these Dumbos worship in the Temple of Cynicism. Never forget: Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor. Praise the Lord (of your choice) for Marcy Shaffer! If this is (fair & balanced) savage musical satire, so be it.

Parody Lyrics By Marcy Shaffer
RELIGION.
WE BORN-AGAINS SUPREME.
THE THEME OF OUR REGIME:
EXTREMELY RIGHT.
RELIGION.
IT'S HOW EVERYONE MUST GO.
THE BIBLE TELLS US SO.
WE'VE SEEN THE LIGHT.
OH, IF YOU HAVE BEEN AN INFIDEL?
YOU SHOULD PIN A LOT OF THOUGHT ON HELL.
WHERE YOU WILL ROT.
IF YOU'VE NOT GOT
RELIGION.
OUR RELIGION!
NO MATTER WHAT YOUR BEHAVIOR.
IF YOU SIGN UP WITH OUR SAVIOR:
YOU CAN BEGIN AGAIN.
AND EVEN SIN AGAIN.
CAST THE FIRST STONE!
OH.
IT'S ALL IN THE EXECUTION.
REMEMBER EVOLUTION?
IF YOU BELIEVE THAT WE ARE SQUARE.
CONCEIVE THAT WE DON'T HAVE A PRAYER.
THEN LOOK ANEW AT WHO
WE OWN.
IN OUR RELIGION.
THE PROCESS HAS BEGUN
OF CHURCH AND STATE AS ONE.
THE SEEDS ARE SOWN.
OH, IF YOU WOULD TURN NON-SEMITICAL?
WE DISCERN A JOB POLITICAL.
FOR YOU ALONE.
'CAUSE YOU'LL HAVE SHOWN
RELIGION!
OUR RELIGION!
IF YOU FEEL LOST AND REJECTED?
MAYBE YOU'RE JUST NOT PERFECTED.
AND WE'RE AWAITIN' YOU
TO SEE WHAT SATAN BLEW.
HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN!
OH!
COME ALONG AS WE ARE HEADIN'
RIGHT STRAIGHT TO ARMAGEDDON.
IF YOU BELIEVE THAT WE ARE SQUARE.
CONCEIVE THAT WE DON'T HAVE A PRAYER.
THEN LOOK ANEW AT WHO
WE OWN.
FROM CONGRESSIONAL SUPPORT.
TO THE HIGHEST HIGHEST COURT.
WE HAVE SHOWN
THAT WE OWN:
RELIGION!
YES, THE LINE IS VERY BRIGHT.
AND THE HOUSE THAT'S VERY WHITE
IS IN OUR ZONE.
OH!
IT'S ALL IN THE EXECUTION.
ANOTHER REVOLUTION.
IF YOU BELIEVE THAT WE ARE SQUARE.
CONCEIVE THAT WE DON'T HAVE A PRAYER.
THEN LOOK ANEW AT WHO
WE'VE SHOWN
WE OWN.
