To listen to Lordy Lord, click hereThis song takes the offensive about as far as one can unreasonably take the offensive, but still not so far as the ultimate offense, which is the act of committing evil and then passing on the blame, and your own cowardice in refusing to commit it, to others. My offense is merely the offense of satire.
Lordy Lord, I'm
good as gold, Lordy Lord
Lordy Lord, I'm
good as gold, Lordy Lord
Lordy Lord I'm
good as gold
I'm just doing
what I'm told
Lordy Lord I'm
good as gold, Lordy Lord
Well they told me
shoot a nigger, Lordy Lord
Yes they told me
shoot a nigger, Lordy Lord
So I went and shot
a nigger
All I did was pull
the trigger
I'm just doing
what I'm told, Lordy Lord
Then they told me
burn a Jew-boy, Lordy Lord
Yes they told me
burn a Jew-boy, Lordy Lord
So I did, I burned
a Jew-boy
But I left a few
for you boy
I'm just doing
what I'm told, Lordy Lord
They said shove
'em in the ovens, Lordy Lord
They said shove
'em in the ovens, Lordy Lord
So I shoved 'em in
the ovens
Well this world
never did love 'em
I'm just doing
what I'm told, Lordy Lord
Then they told me
lynch a queer, Lordy Lord
Yes they told me
lynch a queer, Lordy Lord
So I went and
lynched a queer
What a shame, o
dear, o dear
I'm just doing
what I'm told, Lordy Lord
Lordy Lord they
said to jail him, Lordy Lord
And to make sure
no one bailed him, Lordy Lord
And I'm not the
sort to fail 'em
So I went and
fucking nailed him
I'm just doing
what I'm told, Lordy Lord
Do not think it
gives me pleasure, Lordy Lord
No don't think it
gives me pleasure, Lordy Lord
Obeying orders
ain't no pleasure
It's my work Lord,
not my leisure
When I'm doing
what I'm told, Lordy Lord
Lordy Lord I'm
innocent, Lordy Lord
Absolutely
innocent, Lordy Lord
Lordy Lord I'm
innocent
Why you must blame
some other men
Cause I'm just
doing what I'm told, Lordy Lord
