THE SPANISH INQUISITION BLUES lyrics
by JOEL SATTLER

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition
no one expects the armies of the Lord
No one expects Crusaders in the kitchen
no one expects the thundering Mongol horde

it doesn't matter what you learn
what you learn from history
history will always be
somewhat of a mystery

it always repeats itself
no matter what you learn
the Great Wall is a failure
and Rome it always burns

there are no better angels
angels of our nature
we fought the monsters for so long
that we became the monsters.

the Inquistion's always waiting
waiting in the wings
the torturers are reprobating
the choir begins to sing

the greatest trick God ever pulled
was the invention of the Devil
God himself knows very well
that He's beyond good or evil

so when the Spanish Inquistion
comes knocking the door
tell them that you're not at home
that's what the Holy Ghost is for

No one expects no one expects the Spanish Inquisition
no one expects no one expects the armies of the Lord
No one expects no one expects Crusaders in the kitchen
no one expects no one expects the thundering Mongol horde

you can never shut it down because
the Vandals took the handle
