Verse
Once I read a book
And this is what it said
If your music has a beat
Then you're gonna wind up dead
It doesn't really matter if it's Christian or not
If it's syncopated rhythm then your soul is gonna rot
And this book was called ‘Ha You’re Gonna Burn
And in the second chapter I went on to learn
Chorus
Take two houseplants
And put them to the test
Set them both in front of speakers
And let the music do the rest
The first one you play Mozart
Or something lovely like that
The second one you play that Petra or that Megadeath
N.C. E
Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is
Verse
So I took my two houseplants
And I put them to the test
Set them both in front of speakers
To let the music do the rest
I powered up my Pioneers
To let the music roar
But twenty minutes later
A E N.C.
Someone's knocking at my door
I opened up my door
And there my neighbor stood
He said, man I'd like to get some sleep
If you think I could
I said, man, can't you see here
I've got this moral dilemma that I got to get clear
He said, what kind of moral dilemma
Could you have at this time of night
That could make me so angry
That I just want to fight
So I pointed to the page in that open book
That had a picture of a potted plant
And I said, Go have a look
And he read
Chorus
Take two houseplants
And put them to the test
Set them both in front of speakers
And let the music do the rest
The first one you play Mozart
Or something lovely like that
The second one you play that Petra or that Megadeath
N.C. E
Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is
Verse
First of all he said,
That's Wagner that you're playing
I've never heard of Petra
And isn't Megadeath all dead
And secondly, emphatically
He asked me, what's the sense
Of hanging out with houseplants when, hey,
I live right across the fence
N.C.
And I thought to myself, you know, that's a good point
Chorus
So I took my two houseplants
And I put them both back outside
And me and my neighbor
Well, we went out for a drive
We talked about all the things
That really matter most
Like life and love and happiness
And then the Holy Ghost
And now my two houseplants
They sit out in the sun
But as for my neighbor
Well our friendship has become
A meaningful relationship
That's headed straight to heaven
Outro
But as for now
We like to sit around and listen to Audio Adrenaline
Cranked to eleven!
