Not Working

 


NOTWRKNG

This is the next song in the album about possession: Father O'Malley performs the exorcism ritual, which involves throwing holy water on the possessed person. It didn't work.

The lyrics are:
No nee no no
No nee nee no nee no no
Nosiree nee no no
No nee nee no nee no no

Why's this not working? The spirit's still lurking
Holy water is best
But it evaporates like a sample
Cake that has been digested 

No nee no no
No nee nee no nee no no
Nosiree nee no no
No nee nee no nee no no

It's holy water, and we are not sure
Why this is falling flat
Maybe the spirit thinks there is beer in it
And it makes him get fat

Wait, what is this thing that seems to be wrong here?
I think I need a drink: I need some strong beer
I'm good at exorcism; it's my mission
It is the best decision, and it sinks in
This thing is fiery, and it is wily, it is much stronger
It sings a high C, cuz it is mighty, it's been here longer
Than other spirits that I have steered in a good direction up to Heaven
Now, it is clear that, and I have fear that, I must confess this is a messy one

I am a priest-man - will I release and...
Let this spirit go free?
And save the girl from this thing? I feel dumb
I have fear; but, we'll see

No nee no no 
No nee nee no nee no no 
Nosiree nee no no 
No nee nee no nee no no 

Here's the alternative player thingy, just in case the one up at the top is incompatible with your portable electronic devices:
