https://www.johnwalradt.com/music/songs/brains4bible-master_aug16.mp3This satirical song isn't for everyone for sure. After years of churches and bars, I haven't stepped into either for years and never will again. Both are the same, the only difference are the drinks they serve. Eventually I'll put it on my "Pressing the Buttons" album.
All instruments are from Band in a Box. I typed in Paul Simon's "Loves Me Like a Rock" to choose the instrument style. Vocals are mine that I sent into Audimee which converted them into the raspy screwball sounding vocal of "Ralph."

I'M GOING TO TRADE MY BRAINS FOR A BIBLE Words and music by John Walradt
I'm gonna trade my brains for a Bible
And head off to the promised land
I'm gonna be some kind of religious kook
In an all-star Christian band
I'll be strict and narrow minded
Pretend everything is grand
I'm gonna trade my brains for a Bible
And head off to the promised land!
I'll find me a Christian woman
Who will love me in the name of the lord
She better keep herself fit and trim
Or she's headed out the door!
She'll cook and clean and give me sex
Worship everything that I do
'Cause woman was made to serve a man
And that's in the Bible, too!
I'll believe every word I'm spoon fed
I wont have a rational thought of my own
'Cause I've got the right equipment
That guarantees my heavenly home
I'll be a prophet making a profit
When I grab that microphone
I'll tell you you're going straight to hell
Because your soul is still on loan!
I'm gonna mount my platinum records
It will be a shrine unto the Lord
I'll buy me that great big pickup truck
Sittin' high on the showroom floor
I'm gonna live the abundant life
That the good book promised me
Just look at them big juicy sirloin tips
The purty waitress brings to me!
Yep, I'm gonna trade my brains for a Bible
And head off to the promised land
I'm gonna be some kind of religious kook
In an all-star Christian band
I'll be strict and narrow minded
Pretend everything is grand
I'm gonna trade my brains for a Bible
And head off to the promised land!
Yes, I'm gonna trade my brains for a Bible
And head off to the promised land!
