Who is there? It is me, open up! Who are you? It’s me Matthew,
the tax collector. What do you want from me? Don’t you know I’m a teacher of
the law follow my next door neighbor!
Knock Knock Knock
Open up, whom is it? It’s me Matthew what do you want from me
Matthew? I beg to ask for Cesar’s dues, you are late by six months
peasant! Do you wish to place yourself among the high and mighty?
I’m sorry Matthew; I paid my dues on time last month, “I know
peasant this is a new month, bend cough up and pay”
Have mercy, my kids are sick, my mother is hungry and I’m cold,
please have pity,
“I’ll have pity once I see the coin in my hand, I
don’t pity stupidity”
(So the peasant had to bend, cough and pay just in accordance to
the laws of Jesus, they give Cesar his dues at the expense of many)
Knock Knock Knock
Who is there at this ungodly hour? Mr. Lawmaker it’s me
Matthew, I brought the peoples taxes, your salary and wages to take home should
you decide to leave office.
“come in Matthew”, How much is it? Enough to make you belch and
cure your hangover.
“Is it enough?” It’s enough to make you aimless! And what did
the people say?
They said that they wanted you to pay! Well I ask, whose face do
they see on the coins
