Hooray for Heretics!
(to the tune of “Hooray for Hollywood”)
Hooray for Heretics,
Those crazy, lackadaisy Heretics!
Where any infidel
Or young apostate
can invoke hate
By referencing Arius,
And any well-read priest
Can be a well-dead priest
If he’s listed by old Eusebius!
Hooray for Heretics!
When you’re malefic
if you’re even good!
Where anyone at all from Satorninus
to Valentinus
is equally misunderstood
No matter what you say
Welcome to auto-da-fe’
Hooray for Heretics!
Hooray for Heretics!
Those tricky, contradict-y Heretics
They come from Damascus and St. Martins
with their false doctrines
To see their names up in lights
All armed with tractates
From aeropagates
With their mad ideas
and Mystery rites
Hooray for Heretics!
You may be well-known in your neighborhood.
Still, if you think that you have the gnosis,
And not a psychosis,
You’ll make good friends with mystics!
With some luck and some moxie,
You’ll have an orthodoxy
Hooray for Heretics!
Well fairy snuff that does fit quite nicely :P
