| I know a scene you ought to see
|
| I read it in Luke 16
|
| So let me be I wanna set the scene
|
| A wealthy dude his name’s unknown inside his sprawling home
|
| Stuffing his mouth with that life of ease
|
| While Lazarus is thin and weak, down the driveway on the street
|
| I don’t think he will survive
|
| If he could get that nameless dude to feed him some leftover food
|
| He’d take the crumbs now as they’d fall, if they would fall
|
| Lifestyles of the rich and the nameless
|
| The solid gold bracelets don’t make you blameless
|
| His money is not the problem
|
| He forgot Lazarus; |
| Think Jesus saw them
|
| Did you know the rich and nameless dude eventually died
|
| And when he woke up things were on the fiery side
|
| With Lazarus across the chasm and Abraham talked to him
|
| He said, «You know it’s really hot in here, my throat is cracked
|
| Send Lazarus to me, O Father Abraham
|
| He can always just run some water down to me»
|
| «I'd like to help you get a drink,» Abraham said, «Honestly
|
| I don’t think that would suffice
|
| But he’s already paid his dues
|
| Now he is somewhere else than you
|
| You think that’s someone else’s fault? |
| Maybe not»
|
| Lifestyles of the rich and the nameless
|
| They’re always so shameless
|
| God plays no favorites
|
| It’s funny yet such a shocker
|
| How he demanded, «Bring me some water!»
|
| Lifestyles of the rich and the nameless
|
| The one with no status God made so famous
|
| It’s funny to watch the process
|
| Because somebody prosperous He made anonymous
|
| Lifestyles of the rich and the nameless
|
| Designer clothes get spots and holes; |
| Let’s shop at Payless
|
| Lifestyles of the rich and nameless
|
| Lights out for the rich and nameless
