Parody lyrics to the tune of George Harrison’s
“Awaiting On You All”
a.k.a.
“Chanting The Name Of The Lord”

“Chanting The Name Of The Turd”
a.k.a.
“Chanting The Name Of Old Tor”


You may have a smooth grin
Your lies come out deadpan
great communicator, mental masturbator
spent a decade vegetatin’

If you open up your heart
blood will gush right out
your emotions are in your brain
not in replaceable chest spout


By chantin’ the name of old Tor and you will see
it’s worthless as chanting the name of any ole deity
when earthquakes or giant storms come from the sea
its as helpful as if you spent your whole life chantin’ Gumby
 
You need to cut a fart
all life needs to make gas
if you’re an instigator or alligator
you’re gonna get recycled


If you open up your heart
blood will gush right out
charge gnomes in you chest rent
'cause they’ll never help you out

By chantin’ the name of old Tor and you will see
it’s worthless as chanting the name of any ole deity
'god speed' or Lennon songs in space shuttles ain’t worth a pee
when they go boom you’re toast regardless of your theology
 

You do need some shelter
reporters love helter skelter
Invest in Mardi Gras beads, not flood wall needs,
and churches go a floatin’

If you open up your heart
there’ll be a blood stream
don’t let the creeps con you
with their minds so freakin’ mean


George sang, “Pope owns 51% of General Motors.”
Harrison was pissed, he only owned 49% of GM stores.
Chant Jehovah, Krishna, Allah, Satan or Tor
They’re equally worthless to help you, that’s for sure

Also:

'Uncorrected personality traits that seem
whimsical in a child may prove to
be ugly in a fully grown adult.
Lack of involvement with the father, or
over-involvement with the mother,
can result in lack of ability to relate to
sexual fears, and in homosexual
leanings, narcissism, transexuality (girls
from the waist up/men from the
waist down), attempts to be your own love
object. Reconcile your parents to
you by becoming both at once!
Even Marilyn Monroe was a man, but this
tends to get overlooked by our
mother-fixated, overweight, sexist media.

So:
Uncorrected personality traits that seem
whimsical in a child may prove to
be ugly in a fully grown adult.
If you give in to them
Every time they cry
They will become little tyrants
But they won't remember why
Then when they are thwarted
By people in later life
They will become psychotic
And they won't make an ideal husband or wife
The spoiled baby grows into
the escapist teenager who's
the adult alcoholic who's
the middle-aged suicide. (Oy.)

So:
Uncorrected personality traits that seem
whimsical in a child may prove to
be ugly in a fully grown adult'

McLusky - To Hell with Good Intentions

My love is bigger than your love
We take more drugs than a touring funk band
Sing it
My love is bigger than your love
Sing it
My love is bigger than your love
Sing it

The "Sing it"s throughout the song are just delightful.
"You want me to recognize you and I won't. I won't acknowledge you! I deny you. So you keep begging and begging. The door is slammed on you. I want nothing to do with you. You will die unrecognized by me."
-Tom Scharpling

I also would have accepted:

"Gareth Brown says all your friends are cunts and your mother is a ballpoint pen thief"

from the same album.
"Son, there's a thin line between crazed and rabid"

"Romance is the douche of the bourgeoisie"
Was the very first thing she imparted to me
We had sarcastic hair, we used lewd pseudonyms
We got a lot of stares on the street back then.

YES!!!

We've got more songs than a song convention.  Sing it!
