The Good Book (好书) (Live) - Tim Minchin

Life is like an ocean voyage and our bodies are the ships

And without a moral compass we would all be cast adrift

So to keep us on our bearings the Lord gave us a gift

And like most gifts you get it was a book

I only read one book but it's a good book don't you know

I act the way I act because the good book tells me so

If I wanna know how to be good

It's to the good book that I go

'Cause the good book is a book and it is good and it's a book

I know the good book's good because the good book says it's good

I know the good book knows it's good because a really good book would

You wouldn't cook without a cookbook and I think it's understood

You can't be good without a good book 'cause it's good and it's a book

And it is good for cookin'

I tried to read some other books but I soon gave up on that

The paragraphs ain't numbered and they complicate the facts

I can't read harry potter 'cause they're worshipping false Gods and that

And Dumbledore's a poofter and that's bad 'cause it's not good

Morality is written there in simple white and black

I feel sorry for you heathens got to think about all that

Good is good and evil's bad and goats are good and pigs are crap

You'll find which one is which in the good book 'cause it's good

And it's a book and it's a book

I had a cat she gave birth to a litter

The kittens were adorable and they made my family laugh

But as they grew they started misbehavin'

So I drowned the little f**kers in the bath

When the creatures in your care start being menaces

The answers can be found right there in Genesis

Chapter 6 verse 57

Swing your partner by the hand

Have a baby if you can

But if the voices in your head

Say to sacrifice your kid

To satiate your loving God's

Fetish for dead baby blood

It's simple faith the book demands

So raise that knife up in your hand

Before the good book made us good there was no good way to know

If a thing was good or not that good or kind of touch and go

So God decided he'd give writing allegoric prose a go

And so he wrote a book and it was generally well received

The telegraph said this God is reminiscent of the Norse

The times said kind of turgid but I liked the bit with horses

The Mail said lots of massacres a violent tour de force

If you only read one book this year then this one is a book

And it is good and it's a book

Swing your daughter by the hand

But if she gets raped by a man

And refuses then to marry him

Stone her to death

If you just close your eyes and block your ears

To the accumulated knowledge of the last two thousand years

Then morally guess what you're off the hook

And thank Christ you only have to read one book

Just because the book's contents

Were written generations hence

By hairy desert dwelling gents

Squatting in their dusty tents

Just because what heaven said

Was said before they'd leavened bread

Just 'cause Jesus couldn't read

Doesn't mean that we should need

When manipulating human genes

To alleviate pain and fight disease

When deciding whether it's wrong or right

To help the dyin' let go of life

Or stop a pregnancy when it's

Just a tiny blastocyst

There's no reason why we should take a look

At any other book

But the good book

'Cause it's good

And it's a book

And it's quite good

Good is good and evil's bad

And kids get killed when God gets mad

And you'd better take a good look

At the good book
