Cast out of Eden, tricked by a snake
Brother killing brother, the mighty flood's wake
Glad I was not among those kept off that boat
Boy, they was much badder times when the Bible was wrote

Then come slavery, then come curse
Then come a death-cloud for the first birth
Glad I was not living, I don't mean to gloat
Boy, they was much badder times when the Bible was wrote

Deceived with a kiss Peter denies
The crowd calls to Pilate, thorns cover his eyes
Jesus is crucified and I do quote
Boy, they was much badder times when the Bible was wrote
