Don't Bring Me Cows
Parody of "Don't Bring Me Down" by Electric Light Orchestra
(Isaiah 1:11-20; Amos 5:21-27; Psalm 50:7-23, 51:16-17; Micah 6:6-8; Hosea 6:6; Jeremiah 7:22-24)

You brought Me money though it's already Mine
You're offering things but, man, you're wasting your time
Don't bring Me cows -- no, no, no, no, no, moo wee hoo
I'll tell you once more
Don't try to pay off the Lord
Don't bring Me cows

You want to say how much you fast at Lent
I'd rather you were just obedient
Don't bring Me cows -- no, no, no, no, no, moo wee hoo
I'll tell you once more
Don't try to pay off the Lord
Don't bring Me cows

The cattle on a thousand hills I own
You read that line in Psalms -- so now you know
Don't bring Me cows -- no, no, no, no, no, moo wee hoo
I'll tell you once more
Don't try to pay off the Lord
Don't bring Me cows

You wanna talk about a sacrifice
Humble the way you are and get contrite
Don't bring Me cows -- no, no, no, no, no, moo wee hoo
I'll tell you once more
Don't try to pay off the Lord
Don't bring Me cows

You took a look at Micah 6 in the past
What does it say -- we're gonna take a test
Don't bring Me cows -- no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, moo wee hoo
I'll tell you once more
Don't try to pay off the Lord
Don't bring Me cows

You've got Isaiah chapter 1 on display
You've got Hosea 6 so do as they say
Don't bring Me cows -- no, no, no, no, no, moo wee hoo
I'll tell you once more
Don't try to pay off the Lord
Don't bring Me cows, cows, cows, cows, cows, cows

I'll tell you once more
Don't try to pay off the Lord
Don't bring me cows

Micah 6:6-8
With what shall I come before the LORD and bow down
before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with
burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the LORD
be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand
rivers of oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my
transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my
soul? He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what
does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love
mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
