Matthew told me that the Roman I.R.S. likes Jews

He also told me, pay your way, you never know what they'll tax

Just the other day I heard of the soldiers hauling off

Some income-needy chump for holding out

Money's always tight

But taxing's all right

It just seems a bit severe

So render to Caesar but don't give yourself away

Peter says, yeah, Matthew's right -- they're greedy, tough, and mean

Before repenting Matthew worked taking tax for those Philistines

Now I had heard to tax the Jews was only for the Lord

So tell me is it wrong for Rome to own us all these years?

CHORUS

Whenever that one was brought to Jesus

You know what He said?

Every dime you've got has Caesar

Where they put the head

When I look at Roman cash there's Romans on the front

To Romans render what is Rome's and give God whatever's God's

CHORUS

Matthew's all right, Mark is all right, Luke is all right, John's all right

They all are right

Mark 12:17

Then Jesus said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's

And to God what is God's." And they were amazed at him
