Loving A Slave

Parody of "Running Away" by Hoobastank

Parody Lyrics by Jeff James (the Parodud)
My! Don't want you to kill 'Nesimus,
And cede poor bloke's life for settling debt.
And I don't want you to read orders from me,
But ever for love, I ask and plea.

And I entreat you, Philemon, ta try.
Man helped him in many of Paul's plights.
I'm trustin' in you to help the poor youth,
To show thy dude has more use.

CHORUS:
Oh, why aren't we loving a slave?
Why aren't we loving a slave?

If it was rough, I'll owe you the price,
Though this issue is not black and white.
And, my, you're a chum who's forgiven of much!
Then you're bought, oh, by Lamb's own dear blood!

Then I am old, sure spurned in jail.
One thing that I held to was slave.
Oh, now Philemon, you'll help the poor youth,
To show thy dude has more use?

Chorus

Will Phile-mon give due?
One thing that ... Paul held to.
Ooh, rate the slave so kind.

Will Phile-mon give due?
One thing that ... Paul held to.
Give him a taste divine.

Will Phile-mon give due?
One thing that ... Paul held to.
Ooh, rate the slave so kind.

Chorus

('Cause this is time ta embrace)
Oh, why aren't we loving a slave?
(I pray you'll submit to His grace)
Why aren't we loving a slave?

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.
