Amos
Parody of "Layla" by Derek and the Dominos
(Amos 7:10-17)
Now what are you doin' here, you loony?
Well, nobody made you prophesy
You'd better run -- you'll die unless you don't
You know you're just some foolish guy
Amos -- go back to watchin' sheep
Amos -- stop makin' prophecies
Amos -- are you gonna heed these words of mine?
So why'd you preach to a foreign nation
When your own land is just due south?
Goodbye, you fool
Don't tell us what to do
Or Jeroboam will cut you down
Amos -- go back to watchin' sheep
Amos -- and sycamore-fig trees
Amos -- are you gonna heed my words or die?
We're a successful civilization
And our economy's goin' great
So please don't say
Another word today
About our moral lapse and faith
Amos -- go back to watchin' sheep
Amos -- stop makin' prophecies
Amos -- are you gonna heed these words of mine?
Amos -- go back to watchin' sheep
Amos -- and sycamore-fig trees
Amos -- are you gonna heed my words or die?
