High water Everywhere ( again)
The worst thing about born again christians
is they ain't the backbone to anything
They're always the first ones to fold
In the face of adversity
They see amountain
And they run in the opposite direction
Or find a way to prove their righteous
Whi;le getting some beast of burden
Who they consider a social inferior
They're formof justifying it
Wrapping it in a nice package
To either do the job
Or blame the failure of the job to be done on
They're not the backbone of our society
Their the flab if anything
The flab that makes all the noise
As you gotta carry them upthe mountain
They're doing the whining
You're doing the hard work
The whining is driving you to distraction
Holding up your work
And they're not even contributing to your efforts
If anything they're whipping you harder
To get more out of you
So they canbemore candyassed
\The definition of righteousness to these people
Is not to have your hands dirty
Be as candyassed as possible
Be as insulated from the vortex
Where the head on collision
Between obstacle and muscle hits
And afterwards judge the whole thing
From the position
Those people in Charlie Patton's High water everyhere do
The whites ere allowed on the high places
In the 1`927 Louisianna flood
The blacks were forced down to drown
Then in your arrogance
You say you are the elect of God cause you survived
And the ones who survived who were sent to their death
You call them the wretched
And use the position you forced them in
to prove it
They wouldn't have been abandoned by God
if they weren't wretched
You think god
in all humility saved you
As you stand on the bones of those who died tomake that hill the waters wouldn't rise up to
And drown you
You've been tested and god 's on your side
And he'llbe on your side
If you gotta run the Klan Out everynight
for the next year
To make sure in the next flood
Everyone knows their place again.
