Story behind the song
This popular lifestyle applet hasn’t been upgraded since its release millennia ago. Here’s version 2.0: enhancements and bug fixes.
Lyrics
Blessed are the high and mighty
And all the powers that be
Bless they pointy little heads
The Scribe and Pharisee
Blessed are the self-anointed
Spokesmen for the Lord
And blessed are the shareholders
And chairmen of the board
And God help all the rest
Who finish second best
They pray their souls to keep
And cry themselves to sleep
So blessed are the barracudas
The cutthroats and the sharks
And heaven help the bleeding hearts
And other easy marks
No good deed goes unpunished
No evil goes unsung
Every dog has his day
And some have more than one
