Hymn 43. Aqualung.
From the original liner notes.....
1: In the beginning Man created God; and in the image of Man created he him.
2: And Man gave unto God a multitude of names, that he might be Lord over
all the earth when it was suited to Man.
3: And on the seven millionth day Man rested and did lean heavily on his God
and saw that it was good.
4: And Man formed Aqualung of the dust of the ground, and a host of others
likened unto his kind.
5: And these lesser men Man did cast into the void. And some were burned;
and some were put apart from their kind.
6: And Man became the God that he had created and with his miracles did rule
over all the earth.
7: But as all these things did come to pass, the Spirit that did cause man
to create his God lived on within all men: even within Aqualung.
8: And man saw it not.
9: But for Christ's sake he better start looking.

===================================================================
"Hymn 43", _Aqualung_, which contains gems such as:
"I don't believe you. You've got the whole damned thing all wrong.
He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays"
"He is the god of nothing if that's all that you can see
You are the god of everything, he's part of you and me"
"And the graven image you-know-who
He's got him fixed with his plastic crucifix
Confuses me as to who and where and why
As to how he gets his kicks"
"I saw him in the city and on the mountains of the moon
His cross was rather bloody -- he could hardly roll his stone"
"He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall
And the all-time winner
has got him by the balls
He picks up Gideon's Bible
open at page one
Says 'God, he stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop going
no way to slow down.'"
" 1 In the beginning Man created God; and in the image of Man
created he him.
2 And Man gave unto God a multitude of names that he might be Lord
over all the earth when it was suited to Man.
3 And on the seven millionth day Man rested and did lean heavily on
his God and saw that it was good.
4 And Man formed Aqualung of the dust of the ground, and a host of
others unto his kind.
5 And these lesser men Man did cast into the void. And some were
burned; and some were put apart from their kind.
6 And Man became the God that he had created and with his miracles
did rule over all the earth.
7 But as all these things did come to pass, the spirit that did
cause man to create his God lived on within all men: even within
Aqualung.
8 And man saw it not.
9 But for Christ's sake he'd better start looking."
