Why should the devil...

Irgendwo habe ich mal was über Larry Norman gelesen. Anscheinend wird er öfter als Vater der christlichen Rockmusik bezeichnet. Das macht mich natürlich neugierig; denn ihm verdanke ich dann anscheind die Musik, mit der ich mich heute vorwiegend berieseln lasse, naja, zumindest wenn ich nicht gerade wieder auf einem Bach-Trip bin. Außerdem war er mit Keith Green befreundet. Und Keith Greens Freunde sind auch meine Freunde... :D
Also, suche ich bei youtube nach dem Kerl und finde dieses Lied:

Larry Norman - Why should the Devil


Ist doch geil! Endlich einer, der es begriffen hat. Mit solchen Leuten hab ich in letzter Zeit wenig zu tun... :D Außerdem ist der Text auch voll cool. Hab den mal unten hinkopiert. Recht hat er ja.

Jaja. Wollte ich gerade nur der Menschheit mitteilen. Man, bin ich durch den Wind.
Sowas.

I want the people to know that he saved my soul
But I still like to listen to the radio.
They say rock 'n' roll is wrong, we'll give you one more chance.
I say I feel so good I gotta get up and dance.

I know what's right, I know what's wrong, I don't confuse it.
All I'm really trying to say
Is why should the devil have all the good music?
I feel good every day
'Cause Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away.

They say to cut my hair, they're driving me insane,
I grew it out long to make room for my brain.
But sometimes people don't understand,
What's a good boy doing in a rock 'n' roll band?

There's nothing wrong with playing blues licks,
But if you got a reason tell me to my face
Why should the devil have all the good music.
There's nothing wrong with what I play
'Cause Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away.

I ain't knocking the hymns,
Just give me a song that has a beat.
I ain't knocking the hymns,
Just give me a song that moves my feet.
I don't like none of those funeral marches
I ain't dead yet!

Jesus told the truth, Jesus showed the way
There's one more thing I'd like to say.
They nailed him to the cross, they laid him in the ground,
But they shoulda known you can't keep a good man down.

I feel good every day, I don't wanna lose it.
All I wanna, all I wanna know
Is why should the devil have all the good music.
I've been filled, I feel okay,
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away.


In dem Sinne: Fight the devil!!! Yehaaa!
