DO SOME GOOD
Words and Music by Weird Alma the Younger
Where will I go?
You wanna know?
Where will I go?
Away
Where will I go?
Well, I don't know
But you don't get to say
You could do some good with the name you have
You could really help the world
Turn a chapel into a shelter
and you could really help the world
You always testify of what you feel
Well, how about something real?
If you can do some good, then do some good
Do some good with the name you have
We are the sinners,
and we are unworthy
We're too unclean
to be seen in God's eyes;
Our Father's eyes
But you, so revered that we stand when you enter
Have said and done wicked things
mingled with scripture,
You've kept other races from your holy places,
Massacred the innocent
and called it atonement,
Forced your dominion on your precious women,
Gave your protection to those who hurt children,
Poisoned the meekest with fear and with lies,
And we can't criticize,
And you won't apologize
Apologize
You could do such good with the wealth you have
You could really feed the world
Turn a temple into a hospital
and you could really heal the world
Testify of what you feel
But how about something real?
If you can do some good, then do some good
Do some good
Do some good with the name you have
Oh, no!
Where did they go?
Where did they go?
Away

MILLSTONE
Words and Music by Weird Alma, the Younger (and Hotter)
(c) 2018
I used to have to go to the place on Sunday
where the one guy talks
And the old ladies cry
And I have to wear a shirt and tie
Now, Mom and Dad said that we’ll have to find
another place to go
Where nobody can
play that way with me again
Oh, I never knew what a millstone was
They would roll it on the grain to make bread
And some people wear them around their necks
That’s what Mommy told me Jesus once said
I thought I must have done something bad
when the one guy asked me in
But we only prayed, and then there was some new game we played
Later, Mom and Dad said I’ll be okay and they gave me a hug
But they didn’t say why I shouldn’t be okay
Oh, I never knew what a millstone was
They would roll it on the grain to make bread
And some people wear them around their necks
That’s what Mommy told me Jesus once said
I heard Mom and she was mad
that no one would believe that she
saw me in the room with that one guy
And the game he played with me
She said he moved to a town far away
To lead a bigger church, with more kids to play
Now I have to go to the place on Monday with the lady in the chair
She listens while I tell her again about that one guy
When we drove home my Mom said it's gonna be hard for me
And when I am grown, I’ll carry a millstone of my own
Oh, I never knew what a millstone was
They would roll it on the grain to make bread
And some people wear them around their necks
That’s what Mommy told me Jesus once said
Jesus said to love the children
He said let them all come to Him
Heaven's kingdom, children glorify
All these things I learned from that one guy
