So they say it's getting clearer now
And we're delving ever deeper in the text
(Oh, getting clearer now)
Soon controlling all conceivable renditions
No one knows what we'll be coming up with next

Exegesis--we're interpreting Scripture
Exegesis--as the captains of our faith
Exegesis--in our conjugations
Exegesis--we defile and we desecrate
Exegesis...

Extrapolating every possible revision
Have to sacrifice a few along the way
Devolution from Hebraic deconstruction
Separation from instructor brought dismay

Exegesis--we're interpreting Scripture
Exegesis--as the captains of our faith
Exegesis--parsing participles
Exegesis--we destroy and annihilate
Exegesis...

Hermeneuticas, concordances are passe'
It's said the concept of the meaning's obsolete
Something's missing in our picture of the passage
Seems our latest reconstruction's incomplete

Exegesis--we're interpreting Scripture
Exegesis--as the captains of our faith
Exegesis--citing verse and chapter
Exegesis--we entangle and we complicate
Exegesis...
