So You Wanna Go Back To Egypt

So You Wanna Go Back To Egypt - Keith Green

So you wanna go back to Egypt

Where its warm and secure

Are you sorry you bought the one way

Ticket when you thought you were sure

You wanted to live in the land of promise

But now its getting so hard

Are you sorry you're out here in the desert

Instead of your own backyard

Eating leeks and onions by the Nile

Ooh what breath but dining out in style

Ooh my life's on the skids give me the pyramids

Well there's nothing to do but travel

And we sure travel a lot

Cause its hard to keep your feet from

Moving when the sand gets so hot

And in the morning its manna hotcakes

We snack on manna all day

And they sure had a winner last night for dinner

Flaming manna souffle

Well we once complained for something new to munch

The ground opened up and had some of us for lunch

Ooh such fire and smoke

Can't god even take a joke huh no

So you wanna go back to Egypt

Where old friends wait for you

You can throw a big party and tell the whole gang

That what they said was all true

And this Moses acts like a big shot

Who does he think he is

Its true that god works lots of miracles

But Moses thinks they're all his

Well I'm having so much trouble even now

Why'd he get so mad about that cow

That golden cow

Moses sits rather idle he just sits around

He just sits around and writes the bible

Oh Moses

Put down your pen

What oh no

Manna again

Oh manna waffles manna burgers

Manna bagels

Fillet of manna

Manna patties

Ba manna bread
