by Tommy Womack
Martin Luther slung his feces up against the wall.
"Get thee hence here, Satan. You will not see me fall."
Martin was a wanted man, it all just kinda got to him.
But now all Minnesota gives what Martin Luther's due him.
Martin Luther nailed a bunch of theses to a door.
Ninety-five in all, he coulda thought of more.
The printing press was hip, like the internet is now,
And Martin Luther got in trouble, like you don't know how.
Martin Luther said that a man can talk to God.
All he needs between 'em is the taste of Jesus' blood.
You don't have to sell things and you don't have to buy,
And no man gets to say who goes to heaven when we die.
Martin Luther went to court, such as courts were then.
You had the right to shut your mouth, and not open it back up again.
Martin Luther talked, and Martin Luther talked,
And after Martin Luther finished talking, Martin Luther walked.
So the Pope sent folks to kill him, and they prob'ly would,
If a gang of friendly monks ain't hid him in a dungeon for his own good.
That's where he slung his feces, locked up in a cell.
Hallucinating Satan, but otherwise holding up quite well.
Martin Luther said that a man can talk to God.
All he needs between 'em is the taste of Jesus' blood.
You don't have to buy things and you don't have to sell,
No man gets to say who goes to heaven or to hell.
You don't have sell things and you don't have to buy,
And no man gets to say who goes to heaven when we die.
Martin Luther.
