Ash Wednesday

[Otto]

Re: Ash WednesdayIf God had long hair
And a goatee
And if His eyes were pretty glazed
If He looked spaced-out
Would you buy His story
Would you believe He had an eye infection
And yeah yeah
God looks baked
Yeah yeah
God smells good
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
What if God smoked cannabis
Hit the bong like some of us
Drove a tidy micro-bus
And He subscribes to Rolling Stone
When God made this place
In the beginning, did he plant any seeds
Or did he put them there for Adam and Eve
So they'd be hungry for the apple that the snake was always offering
And yeah yeah
God rolls great
Yeah yeah
God smells good
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
What if God smoked cannabis
Do you 'spose He had a buzz
When He made the platypus
When He created both our homes
Does He like Pearl Jam or the Stones
And do you think He rolls His own
Up there in heaven on the throne
And when the saints go marching home
Maybe He sits and smokes a bone

    If?   This really is the crux:   that this 2000-year-old fairy tale, this self-evident and ludicrous crock of shit, still has purchase on the twenty-first century mind.   And in the US, perhaps more than ever, influences political decision-making and social policy.





  Santa Claus for President!

  Why can't there be room for the Easter Bunny in the Senate?

  Wouldn't Mars make a great Secretary of Defense?

  Let's just cut to the chase and put mythological creatures in office.
