BOHEMIAN EXODUS
Lyrics by Arthur Levesque -- bs@boog.org -- http://boog.org
(to the tune of "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen)


Is this genocide
Infant mortality
Left in a river
And was raised by the royalty
Son of Pharoah, look down at the slaves and know
You're just a Hebrew, you're the deliverer
Because I've talked to God and I know
Please let my people go
Any way the Nile flows
Yahweh has a purpose for me, for me

Ramses, just killed a man
He was beating up a slave
Saw the old man, had to save
Ramses, I was Pharoah's son
But now I've got to throw it all away
Ramses, ooh
(Any way the Nile flows)
Just learned my life's a lie
When I'm not here at home just tell the Pharoah
That I'm gone, that I'm gone
As if Moses really mattered

Desert, out of water
This burning sun is hell
Now I'm drowning in a well
I'm not anybody, ask your daughter
Wanna leave it all behind, forget Egypt
Tzipporah
(Any way the Nile flows)
I will not go back
I sometimes wish I'd never been there at all

I see a little burning bush inside a cave
"Who am I?  I'm who am!  And you will do my wonders!"
Thunderbolts and light'ning, very very fright'ning, God!
Brother Moses!  Pharoah Ramses!
Brother Moses!  Pharoah Ramses!
Brother Moses!  Pharoah Ramses, let us go!
Will it be so?
I'm just a Hebrew, I've come for my people
He's just a Hebrew messing with the big boys
Spare us your God, he can't scare Ra's big goys
I've heard God and I know, will you let us go?
Let us go!  Hebrew scum, we will not let you go
Let us go!  Hebrew scum, we will not let you go
Let us go!  Hebrew scum, we will not let you go
Let us go!  Will not let you go
Let us go!  Will not let you go
Let us go!  No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Oh Pharoah Ramses, Pharoah Ramses
Pharoah Ramses, let us go
Our Hebrew God has a dozen plagues coming for you
For you, for you

So you want to enslave us and build to the sky
So you think you can work us and leave us to die
Oh, Ramses
Can't do this to us, Ramses
Just gotta get out, just let us get outta Egypt

Yahweh has a purpose
Set my people free
Yahweh has a purpose
Yahweh has a purpose for me

Any way the Nile flows...
