The Gospel Of Lemmy

AFTERLIFE:
You're a financial wizard, a top tycoon,
A sweet lounge lizard, with a silver spoon,
You know you never had it, quite so good,
'Cos you didn't know, that you even could,
But the time has come to pay,
Turns out to have been a play,
Whatever happened to your life?
Stone Dead Forever

DEMONOLOGY:
I spit in the eye of Satan
And I will spit in thine
The devils that surround thee
Liveth only in thine eye

DIVINE WISDOM:
"Let's be honest, I don't give a fuck about Ethiopia, you don't give a fuck about Ethiopia. If Ethiopians stopped giving a fuck there wouldn't be so many fucking starving kids would there? Send them some fucking contraceptives."

DOCTRINE:
I got rock n' roll, to save me from the cold
And if that's all there is, it ain't so bad

EROS:
If you squeeze my lizard
I'll put my snake on you

HOLY WAR:
I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight
I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might
I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave
I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave
Your bones will build my palaces, your eyes will stud my crown
For I am Mars, the god of war, and I will cut you down

LORD'S PRAYER:
We shoot power to your heart, a mighty thunderbolt
We charge all batteries, we save your soul
We don't know when we're licked,
But we turn lead into gold
We know alchemy, we bring you rock and roll
We are the ones you love, or we're the ones you hate
We are the first and we just still might be the last
We are Motorhead - born to kick your ass

OMNIPRESENCE:
Lemmy walked into a Ramones video and Beavis says to Butt-Head, "Whoa! Butt-Head, look! It's Lemmy! It's Lemmy! What's he doing there?!" Butt-Head responded, "He's Lemmy, dumbass. He can walk into any video he wants."

THEODICY:
"I think all things are alive. If they're not, how do they fuck you over so much?"

WHORE OF BABYLON:
Lemmy often referred to the song "The Chase is Better Than the Catch" as "The Face is Better Than the Snatch."

ZEN:
You know I'm born to lose
And gambling's for fools
But that's the way I like it baby
I don't wanna live forever

And don't forget the joker
