Because I Said So

Because I said so

I am the lord thy God
Thou shalt have no other gods before me
Thou shalt never, ever, ever take my name in vain
I am thy father's father
As thou look on him look doubly on me
All his obedience thou must inherit
His fist is my fist as thy fist must be

Hey, where are you going, boy?
You got something to say?
You think you're better than me, you little shit?
I'll smack that look off your face
So long as you're under my roof (my sky)
You'll do whatever I say
I brought you into this world and I can take you away

Thy morality is as I dictate
That which is just is as that which I say
Heed my words: When to eat, when to kill
When to fuck, when to pray
I am omnibenevolent genocide
I am justice when plagues arrive
When I kill thy sons I am love personified

So

I am the lord thy God
Everything thou art thou owest to me
Each and every breath is because I allow it
Pray I never take everything from thee
Only I may slaughter a nation
Only I may burn men alive
And when I do it is good, it is just, it is right

Hey, dad? I thought murder was wrong
I thought killing was evil
Was I off all along?

Well, son, those rules were for you
Do as I say not as I do
And I won't kill you, too

So?
