THE MEEK SHALL INHERIT NOTHING
By Frank Zappa
Album: You Are What You Is
Some take the bible for what it s worth
maj7
When it says that the meek shall inherit the earth
Well, I heard that some sheik
Bought New Jersey last week
*
And you suckers ain t gettin nothing!
((((This line is all single note in the bass except the F at the F.))))
Is Hare Rama really wrong
If you wander around with a napkin on
With a bell on a stick
An your hair is all gone...
(The geek shall inherit nothin )

You say your life s a bum deal
^
And you re up against the wall
Well, people, you ain t even got no kind of deal at all
^
Cause what they do
^
In Washington
They just takes care of number one
maj7
And number one ain t you
maj7
You ain t even number two!
Those Jesus freaks, well they re friendly but
The shit they believe has got their minds all shut
An they don t even care
When the church takes a cut
Ain t it bleak when you got so much nothin
So whaddya do?
Eat that pork, eat that ham
Laugh till you choke on Billy Graham
maj7
Moses, Aaron and Abraham, they re all a waste of time
And it s your ass that s on the line
(It s your ass that s on the line)
Do what you wanna, do what you will
Just don t mess up your neighbor s thrill
And when you pay the bill
Kindly leave a little tip
And help the next poor sucker on his one way trip
Some take the bi - ble oh, oh
(Awww, give me half a dozen for the hotel room)
