Nouslife: The hippy version

The hippy version

While I'm not, like, cool, y'know, with all the like sentiments in this 'take' on the Lord's prayer. It's still, like, quite funny? And one or two of the lines are quite nice, actually.

Imagine if a commune of Diggers from a raggedy-assed old house near Porter Square in North Cambridge, Massachusetts back in 1968 had composed the Lord’s Prayer? What if they had re-invented the entire Liturgy?

Well, for one thing ... the Communion Wine would be ‘MATEUS’in more affluent parishes ... and ‘BOONE‘S FARM APPLE‘ everywhere else..

Our Father who art in Heaven

Oh wow! ... old Man up there

Hallowed be thy name.

You are - y’know? - so far out.

Thy kingdom come Thy will be done

When you show up here ... they’ll be some major butt to kick, man!

On earth as it is in heaven.

You can, like, make yourself at home and do your own thing, big dude ... if that’s your bag.

Give us this day our daily bread

As long as you help us cop some serious scratch ... and score with some chicks.

And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those

And give us, like, a break when we, like, bum people out ... and THEN we’ll give a break ...

Who trespass against us

To, like, dudes hassling us with negative karma

And lead us not into temptation

And while you’re at it ... keep us away from bad trips, man.

But deliver us from evil

And please tune-out those weird busts and, like, acid flashbacks

Amen.

Dig it?
