Story behind the song
I got the idea for this song when I saw Charlton Heston raise his musket and proclaim, "From my cold dead hands."
Lyrics
Moses went up the moutain That's the story we've all been told When he came down he found them screwin' around Worshiping an idol of gold Moses threw down the tablets On which God had set his path Moses was crazed started a firey blaze Destroying sinners & their golden calf But that's not really true All these years they've been conning you That's not how it was done Moses had a gun He started firing on everyone Man you should have seen those heathen run There'll be no singing, dancing, havin' fun Because Moses has a gun (repeat)
