We Didn't Start Messiah (Parody of "We Didn't Start the Fire")

Perfect humans, had it made, then they kind of went astray
 Sought the serpent for their wisdom so they had to go
 Though the Lord made a prediction
 Soon the lady'd have some kids and
 From her seed would come to be the Man who'd win my soul
 So the Lord made some coverings that came from
 Animals He skinned alive, animals that had to die
 After that a bad scene, Cain has got a cruel scheme
 Offering some old vegetables his sacrifice was nullified
 We didn't start Messiah
 Yet we're always yearning for the Lord's returning
 We didn't start Messiah
 No, the Israelites already prophesied Him
 Though his brother's plan was flawed
 Abel had a lamb for God
 Sacrificed it and God liked it, Cain was ticked off
 Abel's done, murder one, Adam and Eve had another son
 Named him Seth now Cain has got a spot
 Seth's line, Cain's seed, both left God as sin increased
 They could not foresee the plan – salvation through just one man
 But Noah knew a bit – wound up on a cruise ship
 In the waves, they were saved, God knows what He's doin'
 We didn't start Messiah
 Yet we're always yearning for the Lord's returning
 We didn't start Messiah
 No, the Israelites already prophesied Him
 Noah docked after that and he built an altar at
 A spot where it was dry and he probably lit a fire
 Seven pairs of animals that were clean were available
 Brought them for sacrifice – tell me what that symbolized
 Oh, oh
 But he'd hardly been there became drunk and lost his shirt
 Canaanites were past hope, Shem was blessed by Noah, though
 Who do Shemites be? Abraham and then his seed
 Always check for types, bro, Melchizadek is one of those
 We didn't start Messiah
 Yet we're always yearning for the Lord's returning
 We didn't start Messiah
 No, the Israelites already prophesied Him
 Spent three days with Isaac, Abraham surmised if
 He killed him in faith then Yahweh still could raise him
 The Lord He saw the faith he had -- didn't need to take the lad
 Showed him a ram – Abe said He'd provide the lamb
 Close call -- Isaac blessed Jacob, all his kids were next
 Jacob claimed that someday – one from Judah had to reign
 We didn't start Messiah
 Yet we're always yearning for the Lord's returning
 We didn't start Messiah
 No, the Israelites already prophesied Him
 Brother Joe, where's he been? In the depths and back again
 Big shot – who'd have thought God would raise Joe's stock?
 Made a break to palace life, there he sat at Pharaoh's right
 Highest ruler in the land, brothers did not understand
 Little Moses has arrived, government infanticide
 From Egypt Moses left, plagues, Passover kept
 Find a perfect lamb that's pure
 Stripes of blood are on the door
 Rock with water, Yom Kippur
 I can tell ya many more
 We didn't start Messiah
 Yet we're always yearning for the Lord's returning
 We didn't start Messiah
 But when we are gone
 He will still live on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
 We didn't start Messiah
 Yet we're always yearning since the Lord's returning
 We didn't start Messiah
 No, He isn't hiding – if you try you'll find Him
 We didn't start Messiah
 Yet we're always yearning since the Lord's returning
 We didn't start Messiah
 No, He isn't hiding – if you try you'll find Him
