Well Jesus Christ was an only child
He went down to the river
And he drank and smiled
And his dad was oh-so-mad
Should have insured that planet
Before it crashed
Working real hard to make internet cash
Work your fingers to the bone sitting on your ass
I know now what I knew then
But I didn't know then what I know now
Penny found out as her hair was styled
You should hide you kids
While the dogs run wild
Jesus Christ was an only child
He went down to the river
And he drank and smiled
And his dad was oh-so-mad
Should have killed that little fucker
Before he even had
He went down to the river
And he drank and smiled
And his dad was oh-so-mad
Should have insured that planet
Before it crashed
Working real hard to make internet cash
Work your fingers to the bone sitting on your ass
I know now what I knew then
But I didn't know then what I know now
Penny found out as her hair was styled
You should hide you kids
While the dogs run wild
Jesus Christ was an only child
He went down to the river
And he drank and smiled
And his dad was oh-so-mad
Should have killed that little fucker
Before he even had

But please people, you can't say awful things about the creator of you, your body and the everything. At least think about the values He teach us.
Has anyone noticed how he talks about dogs running wild, like in Wild Packs of Family Dogs? I think maybe Penny is Isaac's mom or something, because in Wild Packs, he talks about how his family, little by little, got sucked into the religion by the Wild Dogs (preachers, etc.). So I guess, maybe, this means she regrets it (you should hide your kids while the dogs run wild).
You should hide you kids
While the dogs run wild" simply put; watch your kids. Even your perfect only child (Jesus) could turn out sour.
Hahahaha<3
"He went down to the river
And he drank and smiled
And his dad was oh-so-mad"
I think this part refers to the story in chapter 2 of the Gospel of Thomas (a gospel that didn't make it into the New Testament). I can see a couple of different reasons for referencing this, one being to call out the fact there were a lot of books that didn't make it into the Bible and the early Church ultimately would have decided what got in - not too divine of a document, in that scenario. The other reason I think he might have referenced this book is that it depicts Jesus as a mischievous and kind of hateful kid (he pushes another kid off of a roof in one of the stories!?)
--------------------------------------------------------------
The lines "you should hide your kids / while the dogs run wild" reminds me for obvious reasons of "Wild Pack Of Family Dogs", anybody think theres a link? I think there's probably a continuation of the theme, but not like they tell continuations of a story or anything
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Wild Packs of Family Dogs" was about religious evangelists converting people, so it would make sense that this song, mocking Jesus and Christianity, would tie into that one.
I also saw the connection.
