No Matter You Be Divine Part One

NO MATTER YOU BE DIVINE
(Part One)
By Roy Merritt

He was busy gettin’ dyin’ from the day he was born
Til the day they laid him in the grave
And he was always in a great big hurry
Cos’ he knew he could never be saved

And so in times of pain and sorrow 
When the pressure was to much to bear  
He’d be feelin’ lower than a snake’s belly 
And ah pullin’ out his hair

So come down off that cross sweet Jesus  
You’re wastin’ precious time 
You’re stupid for bein’ there in the first place 
No matter you be divine

It was times like that he’d start into to drinkin’
Suckin’ it from sun to sun
He’d get all riled up and mad at others
And soon ah reachin’ for his gun

Gosh darn it god he’d shout out loud
What’s the reason I’m in this place  
Ah dwellin’ from pillar to post 
And ah livin’ in total disgrace

So come down off that cross sweet Jesus  
You’re wastin’ precious time 
You’re stupid for bein’ there in the first place 
No matter you be divine

Good grief boy do you think you’re special
God would come in retort 
I likes ah messin’ with you dumb yokels  
And I do it simply for sport

Where’d you get the stupid idea
That I ever gave ah damn
Humanity is my plaything 
To keep you wonderin’ who I am

So come down off that cross sweet Jesus 
You’re wastin’ precious time
You’re stupid for bein’ there in the first place
No matter you be divine
