Bring out the Bible (We ain't Got a Prayer) (B. Malkus, A. Hill) bring out the bible we ain't got a prayer we've been through the fire and it got us nowhere turn to the chapter and pull up a chair bring out the bible we ain't got a prayer chorus: there stands the mountain that we tumbled down that rough rocky shoreline where we ran aground there's peace in the valley we never made it down there so bring out the bible we ain't got a prayer the angels stood watching our slow tangled fall reaching for heaven in spite of it all they can't do a thing for the people downstairs bring out the bible we ain't got a prayer
