about

A song about Moses... and the mountain of the Lord.

lyrics

well moses went up to the mountain of the lord
he was looking for some spiritual law
seeking for wisdom from the one he adored
he came back down and this is what he saw

he saw people laughing and dancing around
spilling their wine on that hallowed ground
clappin' and a singin' and a bowin' down
to some gods that they made themselves

they said get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
we're gonna rock and roll tonight!

they said get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
we're gonna rock and roll tonight!

well moses went on over to a hickory tree
broke a limb off with his hands
stripped off the bark with a pocketknife
and began to lay into every man

they said get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
we don't want no piece of you

they said get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
we don't want no piece of you

all you party people gonna drink your gods
better grind 'em down into powder fine
hope you don't die when you sip that gold
all mixed in with the dirtiest wine

they said get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
we're all gonna die tonight!

they said get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
we're all gonna die tonight!

they said get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
we're all gonna die tonight!

they said get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
get back, moses! (get back, moses!)
we're all gonna die tonight!
