“The Greatest Story Ever Told” takes its title from the epic George Stevens film which chronicles the life of Jesus Christ. Tropical Fuck Storm’s tale stars lead singer Gareth Liddiard as a decidedly different version of Jesus who has resurrected circa 2021 and is not happy with what he sees.
[Intro]
(The good news I bring you is this: Your captivity is over)
[Verse]
Good luck being perfect, now I'm back in town
Raising your standards ain't gonna save you now
Your moral hygiene always ends in tears
Do-goods feel good spreading their zeal like gonorrhoea
Yeah, you've gotta keep it simple stupid, there ain't no free lunch
The bigger they are, the harder that they punch
I was big once but these days it's all about crazy schemes

Now I'm back, Jack, tellin' ya come down off your cross

[Pre-Chorus]

Hey

Oh, nobody listens to me anyway

This ain't the middle ages
There's no grails, there's no safe bets

Just keep on running, running off your mouth
And see how that works out for you
[Verse 2]
When I, I said I loved youse I was lying, it ain't true
So do to others as I do to you
I've come, I'm done, have fun, I gotsta bid you farewell
The truth is out there, I'll see yas in hell
