ApologetiX - Somebody Sold Me lyrics

Parody of "Somebody Told Me" by The k**ers (Genesis 37-50) Take a ride back to the olden days 17 that's when I had to ditch this place And Jacob's my dad, guess you know his name He had me named Joseph and gave nice gifts Anyway, folks, I don't think you'd like this Got heavenly clothes and the day I did I had 11 angry bros, better play nice, kids Sprang a trap now to bring me back down to size Never thought I'd meet Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice But somebody sold me -- not Reuben or Benjamin But Judah and Simeon Levi, Gad and Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali Issachar and Asher Now, I've got my masters Then I got sold off to someone new Ran his household but his sleazy wife's untrue She said to me, Joe, give me just one kiss I said, for Heaven's sake, no, but she claimed I did Prison block now, had me locked down for life Never thought I'd see my dreams come true in all this strife But someone paroled me by divine appointment It went like a whirlwind Then I helped the Pharaoh when he had bad dreams He thought my potential -- was quite substantial My life turned-a life turned around Take a tip from me: I said, maybe things look bleak But you just don't know now what God is gonna do in time Yes, somebody sold me 'cause I annoyed them It looked like my world's end Now I have a federal job with the bra** here It's not penitential; it's vice presidential I boss men-a boss men around Yes, somebody sold me and broke up our boy band It felt more like Pearl Jam Cause I was depressed but now it's a blast here It was providential and quite essential My life turned-a life turned around Yes, somebody sold me, if you haven't listened I walk like an Egyptian Cause I had been sent to there in the past, yes It's right there in Genesis chapter 37, kids My life turned-a life turned around Genesis 50:20-21 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. So then, don't be afraid. I will provide for you and your children." And he rea**ured them and spoke kindly to them.
