Dead Faith

Parody of "Head Games" by Foreigner
Parody Lyrics by Jeff James (the Parodud)
(James 2:14-26, apologies to Foreigner ;-)

Faith hides, not right.
Do you show, do you show with your deeds?
Sends wrong sign and doesn't save, guys.
They don't know, they don't know if you're real.

So, guys, never take flight.
Don't balk, "It's out of season to do what is right."
If some guys need clothes, to dine,
Put an end to their shame, put more on their plates.

Dead faith, can't prove it with a "maybe".
Dead faith, and you can't fake it evermore.
Dead faith. You don't wanna stay with
Dead faith.

We daydream. No power they see.
We just think of them, not assistin' them too.
Depraved de--mons, they believe
God is one, they see (but they wanna flee).

Abe's "sight" reckoned as right,
Put Isaac right on altar, he's not going by sight.
God called Abe by name, and made whole Abe's true faith.
It's more than we're sayin', still we need some changin'

Dead faith? Should follow yet anew.
Dead faith, and you can't fake it evermore.
Dead faith? You don't wanna stay with
Dead faith.

Don't fear or fall away.
Rahab keeps "brothers", hides, 'cause she just shows her new faith.
I shows fear, I'm sorry, I stray.
And if you got no spirit, body turns to decay.

(Dead faith. I'll not prove it with a "maybe".
Dead faith. Still, you can't fake it evermore.
Dead faith. God said it's fakin' love.
Dead faith. Ooh.)

repeat previous paragraph

Dead faith. It's the worst to see.
Dead faith. Yeah, I'll not prove a thing.
Dead faith. I should not lose to Satan!
Dead faith.
Note: Jeff James has written several Parodeities over the years. He has been gracious enough to rewrite many of the parodies appearing in the Parodeity section on Webster. He's done a great job improving some of these tunes in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. I'm absolutely thrilled that he has taken it upon himself to make these improvements; I had hoped when I put all my work in the public domain that it would encourage some people to make these types of modifications to the Parodeities to improve them. It is exciting to see someone doing this kind of work; I hope that Jeff's excellent work will encourage others to write new parodies or "ReVerse" existing parodeities. -- Randy Hyde

BTW, if you don't understand the "Paro-Dud" moniker, visit ApologetiX' site and check out the name of Karl Messner's production company; then you'll probably get the play on words.
