    This historic and rare artifact was created on genuine plastic using heavy duty machinery, back in the Golden Era of Tangibility, when music lovers could hold physical objects (known as "discs") in their own two hands, and read lyrics—printed with real ink on real paper—to songs magically imprinted within the plastic of the disc itself. Long thought to be archaic and anachronistic, such CDs have been found to be wholly compatible with even the most modern of disc drives, and are playable on computers, DVD players, and even CD players. The stock of God Project CDs will not last at this irresistible price, so order now, order for friends, be generous, and be happy.

about

I wish I could say this was a fictional account of my life, and that I was always a man of sterling character and righteous action. But anyone who knows me well knows better.

lyrics

You get a stiff fight tryin’ to fly right when the mind don’t wanna
Might have a better time yankin’ all the cacti out in Arizona
And I been pig-headed, corpse-fed, inebriatin’, fornicatin’
Talkin’ just a bunch of bologna
Lord, straighten me out I’m crooked as the track at Daytona

I had a no-good brain of wood, feet of clay—I was a cheater
Plenty of drinkin’, not much thinkin’ I was livin’ in a theater
And I been TV drunk, filled my head up with junk,
couldn’t get off of the couch a millimeter
Oh, Lord, You gotta help me like You said You would in Bhagavad-Gita

chorus:

I was a back-stabbin’ girlie-grabbin’ lyin’ cheatin’ never-do-well
I had all my bags packin’ on the night train clackin’ to hell
Where’s my good time? Frustrated! Good sense? Lust ate it!
Ate up all my money as well
I was a back-stabbin’ girlie-grabbin’ lyin’ cheatin’ never-do-well

Lord! Pick me up now, somehow Listen, ’cause I’m waitin’ on Your
doorstep, ringin’ Your bell
No more back-stabbin’ girlie-grabbin’ lyin’ cheatin’
car-jackin’ crack-trackin’ love lackin’ evil-minded unkind and
fault-findin’ never-do well
