The Wake-Up Song (Paul in Athens)
Parody of "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)" performed by Greg Kihn Band and written by Greg Kihn & Steve Wright
(Acts 17:16-34, Ephesians 5:14, Romans 8:11, 1 Corinthians 15:35-49, Philippians 3:20-21)

He had spoken up for good just an hour before
Uh-huh-huh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
No one there knew that the Bible has the answers from the Lord
Huh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
And when the man saw their temples, he refused to put them down
Huh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
He would proclaim God's Son with appeals to common ground
Uh-huh-huh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh

They don't like right facts anymore
They just don't like right facts anymore

The Athenians would gather there to fill their ears
Uh-huh-huh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
And new ideas they'd go exchange while with their Athens peers
Uh-huh-huh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
And then the Jew Paul explained, There's something you should know
Uh-huh-huh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Yeah, now I'm saying there's a bodily resurrection — for the soul
Uh-huh-huh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh

They don't like right facts anymore
They don't like right facts anymore

Mmmm ... now it winds up there in chapter 17 in Acts
Uh-huh-huh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
But it’s too easy today now to forget those facts
Uh-huh-huh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh

They don't like right facts anymore
No! They just don't like right facts anymore
They don't like right facts anymore
They just don't like right facts anymore
They just don't — no, they don't
No, no -— uh-uh
They just don't like right facts anymore
They just don't — no, they don't
No, no!

Ephesians 5:14
"This is why it is said: 'Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.'”
