The original.
Joseph F. Schmidt's excellent parody:
Chorus:
We built this synod, we built this synod on Rock and Roll
Built this synod, we built this synod on Rock and Roll
Say you don’t know me or recognize my face,
Say you don’t care who goes to that kind of place.
Knee deep in the hoopla sinking in your fight,
Too many Fuller grads eating up the night.
Joey plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don’t you remember
We built this synod, we built this synod on Rock and Roll.
Chorus:
We built this synod, we built this synod on Rock and Roll,
Built this synod, we built this synod on Rock and Roll.
Someone always playing corporation games,
Who cares they’re always changing corporation names.
We just want to dance here someone stole the stage,
They call us irresponsible write us off the page.
Joey plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don’t you remember,
We built this synod, we built this synod on Rock and Roll.
We built this synod, we built this synod on Rock and Roll,
Built this synod, we built this synod on Rock and Roll.
Its just another Sunday, in a tired old street.
Doctrine’s got the choke hold, oh then we just lost the beat.
Who counts the money underneath the bar?
Who rides the wrecking ball in two rock guitars?
Don’t tell us you need us, cuz we're the ship of fools
Looking for America, embedded in your schools.
Don’t you remember (member)(member)
Joey plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don’t you remember,
We built this synod, we built this synod on Rock and Roll.
We built this synod, we built this synod on Rock and Roll,
Built this synod, we built this synod on Rock and Roll,
Built this synod, we built this synod on Rock and Roll,
Built this synod, we built this synod on Rock and Roll.
(we built, we built this synod) built this synod (we built, we built this synod).
VP Patterson's Rock and Roll Church in Round Rock has a group called Little Rockers. Do they teach toddlers how to snort coke and trash hotel suites?
The new sermon series is shamelessly borrowed from Mars Hill.
Joe Krohn likes to post all the time and even has his own blog to defend and promote Rock and Roll Churches?
Did they get the grant, Joe? $200,000 from Antioch?
