God is on my side
I have no need to hide
You see I am his mate
No Queuing at the gate
So while you wait outside
I am warm and safe inside
He loves good folk like me
Who set his people free
No need to beg and crawl
To me he gave it all

Ask any boss you know
Respect the crawlers? NO!…
They need the ones that lead
Not wounded men that bleed
Licking round their feet
What job will they complete
Get up and get a life
Think of a whinging wife
The picture should be clear
No Hangers On in here

The clergy have a ball
All those kids and all
Your time they take for free
They never could fool me
It’s easy now to say
From you they get their pay
Their heaven is on earth
With chubby face and girth
While good folk they mock
Dressed in a silly frock

So pass along the plate
You know it’s not to late
Slip out the door real quick
That should do the trick
It’s your time that you waste
Then have to live in haste
See I know the glitch
The Church is really rich
It isn’t even funny
They have so much money

This was verse inspired by  UK law where recently a couple inherited a church…. The church was/is a listed building and they are now required to pay thousands of  pounds to effect repairs.

The church council or whatever were requested to support the cost  of these repairs and refused saying it was down to the couple who inherited it.

I am under the impression that as a listed building the owners apart from being liable for it’s upkeep would not be allowed to change the buildings “use”

I didn’t follow the story any further…..
