The Ten Commandments Songtext
von Strawbs

There′s a new religion and it's hot off the shelf
It′s where the congregation have to worship themselves
There's no fire and brimstone but there's an ingrown wolf
Where you can take communion from a TV cook

And there are ten commandments and you can please yourself
If you keep or break them you′re still condemned to hell
Give you a dollar in the bank and that′ll see you through
But if your neighbour got a dollar, well then you better get two

We can negotiate a contract
A package to suit your claim
You'll get no justice in that sense
′Cause nobody's ever to blame

And there′s a high priestess, she knows the spice of life
She's only skin and bone but she′s a football wife
They take the altar to the terrace so we can name our saints
You're given fifteen minutes with karaoke brains


We can negotiate a contract
A package to suit your claim
You'll get no justice in that sense
′Cause nobody′s ever to blame

You'd better choose your friends very carefully
If they can′t help you network, well they're no use to me
Take what you want, not what you need
We used to have that problem, now they′re a dying breed

We can negotiate a contract
A package to suit your claim
There'll be no justice in that sense
′Cause nobody's ever to blame
We can negotiate a contract
A package to suit your claim
You'll get no justice in that sense
′Cause nobody′s ever to blame

Nobody's ever to blame
