2025 Competition Lyrics Entry:

Vulture Culture by Montgomery Hilborne

Lyrics

Verse

I grew up with a miscreant nature
Thinking the world owed me a favor
Thought the world owed me a living
Interested in taking, never giving!

Chorus

Now the Lord is molding the sculpture
Got no need for vulture culture
Hand in hand with the Lord’s love
Don’t need all that other stuff!

Verse

Wanted to be a hockey player
All the glory I could savor
Mega bucks just to skate
Man that would have been a mistake

Chorus

Now the Lord is building the structure
Got no need for vulture culture
Hand in hand with the Lord’s love
Just can’t fit into that hockey glove!

Comical Aside Spoken

Small child : Wow can I have your autograph

Hockey Player : Beat it kid your mother wears army boots

Bridge

The secret Kingdom of God is like a pear of great value!

Do you think behind door #1 , maybe?

No like a cracker jack prize!

saxophone solo heavy riff!

Verse

In time the Lord will cease my function
When we meet at life’s junction
Peace will arrive in an instant
Everything will be pure contentment (gasp of satisfaction….aaah)

Smoky female voice : repeating “vulture culture”

Fade Out!
