Better Than Exorcism
Parody of "Good" by Better Than Ezra
(2 Corinthians 13:5; Matthew 12:43-45)

Lookin' to find a house
Demons go back to where they were before
Searchin' for signs of Christ, but there's nobody home
Well, maybe you've swept the floor
And maybe you'll come to Christ when you get around to it
Demons returned and found that you never did

Uh oh, isn't God livin' in you?
Uh oh, isn't God - uhhh
Uh oh, isn't God livin' in you?
Uh oh, isn't God - uhhh

Safely inside your house
One can invite his seven friends to call
Searchin' for signs of Christ, but there's nobody home
Well, listen to Paul, he writes in a letter
Make sure you see that the Lord is inside
If you're not too sure, then you're not too sound
You've unlocked your door, and they've got you now
I said
CHORUS

Ah, no God? No good!
LEAD
CHORUS

Yeah, if there's no God
Yeah, it does no good

Matthew 12:43-45a
"When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, 'I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first."
