LDS Hymn Parodies - Y

YES, I COULD SEE THE LIES
Sung to the tune of Lord, I Would Follow Thee, #220

Through examining and research,
I could see the stack of lies.
And as I researched the history,
There could be no compromise.
Through examining and research,
Yes, I could see the lies.


When I finally did some research
On my own objectively,
Then the lies became apparent,

The deception I could see.
When I finally started research,
Yes, I could see the lies.


Who am I to judge another
When I bought it all those years?
But I know I can’t keep quiet,
It is not as it appears.
Yet I cannot judge another
Though I can see the lies.


I would be my brother's keeper,
And so I must vocal be.
If the ones who know stay quiet,
How will truth they ever see?
I would be my brother's keeper

For I can see the lies.

And I hope that they will see it,
All the Mormons still out there.
See the lies throughout the doctrine,
The deception, be aware.
Yes, I hope that they will see it
As I have seen the lies.

YOU CAN MAKE THE FUTURE BRIGHT

You can make the future bright,
And it will be out-of-sight,
If you leave the Mormon Church.
If it fills you with dismay,
It is worth the price you’ll pay,
If you leave the Mormon Church today.

(Chorus)
If you leave the Mormon Church,
They will say you went astray,
Gave eternal life away.
And the guilt trip they will play,
If you leave the Mormon Church today.

Though the scriptures they’ll recite
As they try with all their might
To defend the Mormon Church.
They’ll insist that you must pray,
Push the evil one away,
If you leave the Mormon Church today.

(Chorus)
If you leave the Mormon Church,
They will say you went astray,
Gave eternal life away.
And the guilt trip they will play,
If you leave the Mormon Church today.

It is only common sense
That it's built on false pretense,
Lies abound within the church.
Oh, the peace that you will find
When the web of lies unwind,
And you leave the Mormon Church behind.

(Chorus)
When you leave the Mormon Church,
They may turn their backs on you,
And say you don’t have a clue.
But the truth will set you free,
When you’re out, I know you will agree.

YOU WON’T NEED YOUR BRAIN AT ALL AGAIN
Sung to the tune of God Be with You Till We Meet Again, #152

You won’t need your brain at all again,
Stick to what it is we tell you,
Let our endless blather numb you,
You won’t need your brain at all again.


(Chorus)
Do not think, do not think,
Do not think, don’t use your brain.
Do not think, do not think,
You won’t need your brain at all again.


You won’t need your brain at all again,
Do not let it all confuse you,
We know best so we’ll protect you,
You won’t need your brain at all again.


(Chorus)
Do not think, do not think,
Do not think, don’t use your brain.
Do not think, do not think,
You won’t need your brain at all again.


You won’t need your brain at all again,
Follow all the Mormon teachings,
Latch onto the mindless feelings,
You won’t need your brain at all again.


(Chorus)
Do not think, do not think,
Do not think, don’t use your brain.
Do not think, do not think,
You won’t need your brain at all again.


We will tell you what to do and say,
We will do all of the thinking,
And if you should feel you're sinking,
Just adapt to it the Mormon Way.


(Chorus)
Just obey, just obey,
Just obey the Mormon Way.
Just obey, just obey,
You'll survive, just live the Mormon Way.


Life is simple if you just don't think,
Just believe in what we're preaching,
There's no use in belly-aching,
Here's some Kool-Aid, now just take a drink.


(Chorus)
Just believe, just believe,
Just believe in what we say,
Just believe, just believe,
Just believe and live the Mormon Way.
