So You Wanna Go Back To Egypt Lyrics - Keith Green

So you wanna go back to Egypt 

Where it's warm and secure 

Are you sorry you bought the one way ticket 

When you thought you were sure? 

You wanted to live in the land of promise 

But now it's getting so hard 

Are you sorry you're out here in the desert 

Instead of your own backyard? 

Eating leeks and onions by the Nile 

Ooh, what breath but dining out in style 

Ooh, my life's on the skids, give me the pyramids 

Well, there's nothing to do 

But travel and we sure travel a lot 

'Cause it's hard to keep your feet from moving 

When the sand gets so hot 

And in the morning it's manna hotcakes 

We snack on manna all day 

And they sure had a winner last night for dinner 

Flaming manna souffle 

Well, we once complained for something new to munch 

The ground opened up and had some of us for lunch 

Ooh, such fire and smoke 

Can't God even take a joke, huh? 

(No) 

So you wanna go back to Egypt 

Where old friends wait for you 

You can throw a big party and tell the whole gang 

That what they said was all true 

And this Moses acts like a big-shot 

Who does he think he is? 

It's true that God works lots of miracles 

But Moses thinks they're all his 

Well, I'm having so much trouble even now 

Why'd he get so mad about that cow, that golden cow 

Moses sits rather idle, he just sits around 

He just sits around and writes the Bible 

Oh, Moses, put down your pen 

What? Oh no, manna again? 

Oh, manna waffles, manna burgers 

Manna bagels, fillet of manna 

Manna patties, bamanna bread
