Parody of "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen - Based on the arrangement by Pentatonix.
LYRICS TO THE HALLELUJAH PARODY
Open Letter to Wayne LaPierre
You see yourself the defender of
the amendment passed to you from above,
and any change that happens must go through ya.
While other freedoms slipped away
with nothing standing in their way,
you waved your gun and claimed your hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We’ve heard you say these words before,
about the guns that you adore.
There really is no point in talkin’ to ya.
You pride yourself the ears and eyes
of five or so million other guys,
and think your words will draw their hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your mind is stuck in sixty-five
when cold-war commies were alive.
And those who wanted change were out to screw ya.
And gun controls of any kind
mean liberal commies in your mind
who'll steal your rights then raise their hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your logic is profoundly flawed,
with teachers for your new vice-squad.
You’d arm them to the teeth but they see through ya.
Your rigid stance results in death.
You claim that right with every breath,
howling through your broken hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We think it’s time that you step down.
Just walk away and pass the crown,
before someone decides they need to sue ya.
The arms race lost, it would appear
and you’ve become the thing you fear
an echo of your bloody hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
