Bathwater
Parody of "Backwater" performed by the Meat Puppets and written by Curt Kirkwood
(2 Peter 3:3-9, 1 Thessalonians 5:3)

When will you wake up to the warning
'Cause Jesus may come back today
Like the flood of Noah, His appearing
Will surprise the world and happen suddenly

Some think He never came
And they say He won't come back here but He's going to just the same
The date's been prearranged
He'll be back in a hurry – there are some people who’d better change

And when they say He's been gone a long time
They laugh and say He's kinda late
Just when they say there's peace and safety
Destruction comes on them suddenly

Some think He never came
And they say He won't come back here but He's going to just the same
I maybe see a drain
With the bathwater circling – there are some people who’d better change

They are blind to the signs
Now's the time for you to decide

You'd better wake up to the warning
'Cause Jesus may be on His way
Though we might not know the day or evening
We're still one day closer now than yesterday

Some think He never came
And they say He won't come back here but He's going to just the same
The date's been prearranged
He'll be back in a hurry – there are some people who’d better change

Some think He never came
And they say He won't come back here but He's going to just the same
I maybe see a drain
With the bathwater circling – there are some people who’d better change

2 Peter 3:3-4
Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation."

2 Corinthians 10:4
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
