Those Gods...

Prayed to Jehovah - told me:
'Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
And let my people go'.

Don't want to exchange
My eyes or my teeth,
Like where I am,
Don't want to leave.

Prayed to Jesus - told me:
'Love thy neighbor
And turn the other cheek'.

No good - don't like my neighbor
And can't sit on one cheek.

Prayed to Allah - told me:
'Be a suicide bomber
And get 72 virgins'.

Dead people don't
Have any sex,
Never mind 72 virgins,
Can't even handle
My wife and my ex.
