Grasshopper Riot

A grasshopper riot is required

so that we won’t have to give up on God’s love.
If you’re gonna get fired, get good’n fired!

Especially because you’re so dead tired
from trying to perform the will of heaven above,
a grasshopper riot is required.

And because you know you’re divinely inspired,
bringing down on yourself the very toughest love,
if you’re gonna get fired, get good’n fired!

Everything your fool heart desired:
an insect convention in the olive grove—
a grasshopper riot!—is required.

And even if you’re just an old retired
guy without much left to prove,
go back to work so you can get fired, get good’n fired!

Because there's a faery in the alcove,
and because God’s wrath is no different from Christ’s love,
a grasshopper riot is required!
Get yourself fired right now! Get good’n fired!
