When the Bible Was Wrote - Cass McCombs

Cast out of Eden/tricked by a snake

Brother killing brother/the mighty flood’s wake

Glad I was not among

Those kept off that boat

Boy, they was much badder times

When the Bible was wrote

Then come slavery/then come curse

Then come death-cloud/for the first birth

Glad I was not living

I don’t mean to gloat

But Boy!

they was much badder times

When the Bible was wrote

Deceived with a kiss/Peter denies

The crowd calls to Pilate/thorns cover hist eyes

Jesus is crucified

And I do quote

Boy they was much badder times

When the bible was wrote
