We do indeed need saving
Seeing the publicity bus of the Lubavitcher Yeshiva with the words Welcome Mossiach (savior) emblazoned on its well-decorated side:
Welcome Mossiach we do indeed need saving but are you the one who's got what it takes Looking for a seer I tried Pearle Vision Centers but all they could offer were the usual suspects rimless 20 20 if you dare but no way to see beyond the moment of perception I saw your truck on 57th neat immodest down the Avenue from St Pat's where Salvation is more regular and the Masses are always welcome I've got to give you credit your Rebbe not long ago buried whom you had claimed the true Mossiach was only a bit of herring before the last supper
Oh expectation oh anticipation oh 2nd 4th l00th coming pluck us once again from our mortal slumming stumbling spinning sinning sighing Save us from each other and from the Church around the corner and from Liz and John Warner from Brooks Brothers and from property owners and from whatever ails us
Now tell me can you do it
