We're Not Goin' to Canaan
Parody of "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister
(Numbers 13:1-14:45)

We're not goin' to Canaan
No, we ain't goin' to Canaan
We're not goin' to Canaan anymore

We got 12 spies to view it
They made their way all though it
Yes, Israelites, they said you're soft
Despite the powers of Egypt
God picked us just to reach it
He drove the bus -- you won't get off

We're not goin' to Canaan
No, we ain't goin' to Canaan
We're not goin' to Canaan anymore

Your loss of confidence stinks
(It's) your fault we're never entering
You don't wanna rough it ‘cause you think they're huge
No one who whined will taste it
Only just Josh and Caleb
As for the rest, you best go move

Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
You're right (Yeah!)
We're weak (Yeah!)
They'll fight (Yeah!)
You'll flee (Yeah!)

Whoa-oh
We're not goin' to Canaan
No, we ain't goin' to Canaan
We're not goin' to Canaan anymore
We're not goin' to Canaan
No, we ain't goin' to Canaan
We're not goin' to Canaan anymore
Go away!

LEAD

Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
You're right (Yeah!)
We're weak (Yeah!)
They'll fight (Yeah!)
You'll flee (Yeah!)

We're not goin' to Canaan
No, we ain't goin' to Canaan
We're not goin' to Canaan anymore
We're not goin' to Canaan (No!)
No, we ain't goin' to Canaan
We're not goin' to Canaan anymore (Don't you try to take it)
We're not goin' to Canaan (C'mon)
No, we ain't goin' to Canaan (You're all worse than the sheep)
We're not goin' to Canaan anymore (Now stop and get repentant)
We're not goin' to Canaan (Oppression?!)
No, we ain't goin' to Canaan (Ah, you're true to form!)
We're not goin'n to Canaan anymore

Numbers 14:30
Not one of you will enter the land I swore with uplifted hand to make your
home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
