I was a pharisee
The Meal at the House of Simon the Pharisee (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
With an attitude
I knew the right way
And I would tell you
I had an answer
For every question
And some evidence
To back it up
Justification
Rationalization
Argumentation
Documentation

I won every debate
That I had with a wall
Well, according to me
Cause I was beyond flaw
Other perfectionists
Pretend to act like me
They were just wanna-bes
I was the real thing
the Queen
Of the drama
And of the tragedy
I was the expert
On anything.Then I met Josh
The one too free for me
He was a poor man
Born in the shade of a barn
From the poorest parts
Of a land of poverty and war.
He didn’t talk right
He didn’t think right
He didn’t act right
He sure didn’t shame right
He didn’t wash his hands
He broke the holy rules
He ate with pimps and whores
lawyers and thugs and fools
He was too patient
He was far too strange
He gave people relief
and taught them to be sane
So the obvious problem
Was how do we silence him

He was 1 2 free 4 me
Way 2 free to be
walking on the same streets
As a holy pharisee
He was one too free for me

Again the basic problem
Was how do we silence him
He was 1 2 free 4 me
Way 2 free to be
walking on the same streets
As a holy pharisee
