The Lyrics

Monotheist, monotheist, not a whole slew
of deities for you; that’s your worship style.
You’ve one only; must be lonely without a crew.
But at least it means there’s only one to rile.

It’s their style to have a bunch, the polytheists;
they shop in a theological Wal-Mart.
When a team of gods crosses the doorstep,
they might lie there, or get high there.
To just one you appeal, monotheist,
one to extol and hold and love with all your heart.

Ain’t your style to have a bunch like polytheists.
so you have no need to pick ’em à la carte.
There’s no team to get cross when you misstep—
such as lie there with some guy there.
But then you lose your zeal, monotheist,
and so you go and grow a love for many parts.

Monotheist>polytheist


ALTERNATE ENDING:

But then you lose your zeal, monotheist,
and so you go and grow a loathing and depart.

Monotheist, gone atheist

I like the ways of the Greeks, Romans & Norse who, between them, had a God for pretty much anything you can think of.

"So you have no need to pick 'em a la carte"...great line in context and so was "gone a-theist". Nice word play.

The Japanese Shintoists have lots of little junior gods call Jizo which take care of all those everyday trivial hassles. There's even one who will pay temporary visits to hell on your behalf if you've done something very bad. It's very popular with the Yakuza.

It helps to explain why Christianity has made few inroads into Buddhism and Hinduism: 'What's his name? Jesus Christ? Welcome. Stick him up there with the rest of them.'

More to the point, nice concept with a clever tweak, as usual. I give you five more deities.
