Methodist Coloring Book

Dead Milkmen · Metaphysical Graffiti [1990]

Dean, hey there's a big airplane goin' by

Rodney, get it, go, go

Some recording guy, It's on the track

Rodney, leave it, get it on the track

Joe, get it, get it, catch it

Dean, I got it



You've got a methodist coloring book and you color really well

But don't color outside the lines or God will send you to Hell

'Cause God hates war and God hates crime

A' but He really hates people, who color outside the lines



You've got a methodist coloring book

Don't color outside the lines

'Cause if God doesn't strike you with lightning

He'll at least make you go blind



Good people get sent to the attic

Bad people will roast in the cellar

But there's a special kind a' Hell

For those who just won't learn to color



God is gracious, God is good, so let's color in his book

God wears cotton, God wears rayon, He can mend a broken crayon

God is honest, He don't take payola

Let's all thank him for our Crayola's



You got a methodist coloring book

You got a methodist coloring book

You got a methodist coloring book

(Ah, oh, oh)

(Ah, oh, oh)



You got a methodist coloring book

You got a methodist coloring book

You got a methodist coloring book

(Oh, oh, oh, a very emotional performance)



You've got a methodist coloring book

And you color really well

But don't color out side the lines

Or God will send you to Hell
