The Lyrics

This is a parody about religious intolerance. It is also a commentary about the "commercialization" of religion in America. It was originally inspired by a Johnny Carson monologue regarding "Jehovah's Witnesses" and "no pest strip"...
I call Jews so many times today,
And I guess it's all true what their Rabbi said,
That they don't ever wanna see me again,
And their lawyer's gonna sue me just because he can,
I guess you'd call it "harassment,"
If you don't convert, it's embarrassment...

I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing...
I can't, I can't, I can't stand "schmoozing..."
I can't, I can't, I can't ...

I can't stand losing you...
I can't stand "schmoozing" you...
I can't stand losing you...
I can't stand "schmoozing" you...

I see you 've sent our Bibles back,
And the picture of Jesus and its all scratched,
I can't see the point in the "pow'r" of prayer,
When you just don't seem to give a care,

You can call it simply a lack of faith,
But the sanctuary here is full of hate...

I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing...
I can't, I can't, I can't stand choosing...
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing...
I can't, I can't, I can't stand choosing...
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing...
I can't, I can't, I can't stand choosing...

(Doorbell rings)
(Door slams)
"Owww!"

I guess this is your final chance
And you should reconsider your stance,
For you'll be sorry, time will tell,
'Cause you all soon will be rotting in Hell...

I guess you'd call it blasphemy,
You dare to question my philosophy...

I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing,
I can't, I can't, I can't stand "schmoozing..."
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing,
I can't, I can't, I can't stand "schmoozing..."
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing,
I can't, I can't, I can't stand "schmoozing..."
I can't, I can't, I can't stand choosing...,
I can't, I can't, I can't stand cruising...,
I can't, I can't, I can't stand bruising...,
I can't, I can't, I can't stand using...,
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing,
I can't, I can't, I can't stand "schmoozing..."
I can't, I can't, I can't stand...

I can't stand "losing" you...

Good pacing. That's about it.

It's not supposed to be hilariously drole. It is a social commentary about the status quo in a certain place...
