Parody of Song 113: "We're No Longer Witnesses!"

TJ - iAmCleared2Land

Being in "the truth" forever, I keep (frustratingly) finding myself humming Kingdom Songs unintentionally. It FRUSTRATES ME when I find myself doing it!

So today I got this song in my head, and couldn't get it unstuck, so I decided to write alternate lyrics to it... when I get that tune in my head now, I'll have words that WORK! SING ALONG!!

I hope others will write and post parodies of other songs.... this could be fun, and therapeutic!

Song 113

We're No Longer Witnesses!
(Isaiah 43:10-12)

1. Some would be a Witness clone,
Mental powers they've not grown.
Disregarding hist'ry,
As they've often shown.
When shown inconsistency
See them fidget nervously!
"That's what the Faithful Slave says is true;
Thus I believe, and so should you!"

(Chorus)

2. 'We're His Witnesses,' they've said.
'Come with us or else you're dead!
We know God Jehovah,
He made US your Head!!!
Paradise we promise you;
Dates we pull from our wazoo.
Stop questioning, and get in the car!
Prove that our witnesses you are.'

(Chorus)

3. Once you're free it's not the same,
No more will you play their game!
No!! You are NOT wicked
Tho' they'll defame your name.
Welcome to the world, my friend,
Live your life, you're free of them!
Thus a non-witness finds joy and peace;
How good it is to be released!!

(CHORUS)

We're no longer Witnesses!
We speak out in fearlessness.
Our mind's not fooled by false prophecy;
What they fortell fails to be!

That's a top effort!! Although now I've got the song stuck in my head.

OUTSTANDING. I used to play the piano at the Kingdom Hall, and so I get those tunes ringing in my head for no reason sometimes too.

I don't think I have my songbook now -- otherwise I'd find a way to rewrite some of that propaganda disguised as worship music.

Ha! Sorry about getting the song stuck in your head. I tried to match the original rhymes... the ending syllables are identical to the original song, as nearly as possible. What can I say, it was a therapeutic use of a mental irritation.

Gopher

OH -- In case anyone hasn't heard this song before (or in a while) -- here is the melody!!!! (GAG ALERT)

that was awesome.

Very nice.

I once rewrote The Beatles' I Wanna Hold Your Hand.

Jehovah Wants Mon-ly Men. I can't remember the words, but I soon found out who among brothers had a sense of humor.

Changing vs 3; line 4 had one too many syllables compared to the original.

3. Once you're free it's not the same,
No more will you play their game!
No!! You are NOT wicked
As they'll try to claim.
Welcome to the world, my friend,
Live your life, you're free of them!
Thus a non-witness finds joy and peace;
How good it is to be released!!

That's a great parody of the empty headed JW songs just imagine all those drones singing them trying to inspire enthusiasm for a cold hearted publishing company. And obviously the world is anything but homogenious as they believe there are all sorts of fruits there good and bad.
