Throwdown Lyrics
Moses came down from the hill
Holding the rules in his hand
Looked all around
Suddenly found
No one was listening
Now it's time to throw down
So throw down
Throw down
We throw down
Throw down
Jesus turned water to wine
The star in the sky was a sign
They called him a liar
You're not the messiah
Get out of the temple
Now it's time to throw down
So throw down
Yeah throw down
We throw down
Throw down
And then came a man i can't name
Because if i do I'll be maimed
They'll chop off my head
And then I'll be dead
You know who I'm talking about
It's time to throw down
So throw down
Yeah throw down
We throw down aaah
Throw down
All religions of the world today
We got to leave 'em alone
We got to use our fucking brains today
Before we're gone
Before we're gooone
RIGHT NOW!!!
The three of them fought in the rain
The world was completely insane
Sound the alarms
Nuclear bombs
You crazy motherfucker
It's time to throw down
So throw down
Yeah throw down
Throw down yeah
Throw down
Holding the rules in his hand
Looked all around
Suddenly found
No one was listening
Throw down
We throw down
Throw down
The star in the sky was a sign
They called him a liar
You're not the messiah
Get out of the temple
Yeah throw down
We throw down
Throw down
Because if i do I'll be maimed
They'll chop off my head
And then I'll be dead
You know who I'm talking about
Yeah throw down
We throw down aaah
Throw down
We got to leave 'em alone
We got to use our fucking brains today
Before we're gone
Before we're gooone
The world was completely insane
Sound the alarms
Nuclear bombs
You crazy motherfucker
Yeah throw down
Throw down yeah
Throw down

This song talks about the three principle monotheistic religions in today’s world; Judiasm, Christianity and Islam. The first verse refers to Moses, the key figure of Judaism, the second refers to Jesus, the key figure of Christianity, and the third refers to Mohammad, the key figure of Islam.
The final two verses call for the abandonment (or ‘throwdown’) of all religions due to the conflicts that they inspire and the potential they have to cause greater destruction in the future.
Moses came down from the hill* (not hell)
The three of them fought* in the rain (not faught)
The third verse is about Marilyn Manson. Jack can't name him but I can.
I believe vs 3 refers to Jesus Christ and the days after the rapture (when Christ returns and calls all the true believers in Him to be with Him). After this time, the Anti-Christ will put to death all who refuse to bow to him. Therefore, any believers in Christ who come to faith in Him after the rapture will be put to death, possibly by beheading.
I appreciate the reference to Christ the Lord, but not the unneccary use of foul language. God is not to be mocked, and if the Bible is the true revealed Word of God (as I believe it is), then Jesus is the Son of God and one with God, therefore He is not to be mocked. Jesus is either as He claimed, the Son of God, a liar, or a madman. I believe Him to be the true, one and only, Son of God who sacrificed Himself as a perfect sacrifice for all of our sins, thereby restoring us all to fellowship with God the Father if we will simply confess we are sinners, unable to make amends to for our sins, and accept Jesus sacrificial death on the cross for our sins thereby restoring us all to fellowship with God the Father.
As to all of the other religions of the world, they can't all be right. Jesus said He is the only way to the Father. If all are right, then He is wrong. I place my faith in Him! He did miracles that were witnessed on earth and were among the reasons He was put to death. Read the gospel of John and believe! It is the power of God to call and to save - look to Him and pray for His Truth to be revealed to you!
I’m terribly sorry, but I’m afraid your interpretation of this song may not be the same as most people’s. It’s also notable that Tenacious D are not typically a ‘religious’ band and thus the message they intended to portray could not be further from your own understanding of the song. In fact the song is more a promotion of anti-theistic ideals than it a promotion of your personal brand of theism.

You started your comment with "I believe" and you couldn't be farther from the truth. Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed, the big three prophets of the Abrahamic religions and how those religions are all not-true and dangerous. They cause horrible problems in the world due to the fact that they believe in fairy tales. Please just contemplate the fact that you are telling us to read an ancient book (with obviously impossible events) that has been edited and lost in translation for over one thousand years and believe it to be fact. Blind Faith is not a virtue, it is denial...

Please just contemplate the fact that you are telling us to read an ancient book (with obviously impossible events) that has been edited and lost in translation for over one thousand years and believe it to be fact. Blind Faith is not a virtue, it is denial and arrogance. Arrogance that your book is the word of the one and only god, that you are a member of his one true religion, a part of "his" favorite race, on "his favorite planet, in "his" favorite solar system, in "his" favorite galaxy, within the universe in which he has always existed and he created everything, controls everything,knows everything, can do anything, and loves everything and everyone as himself because they are his creation. However he allows and created the world to be in chaos and suffering (at least if he is omnipotent and all knowing as he is claimed to be) and He also will send you to hell to be tortured forever if you don't believe in him even though it is his influence that guides you to disbelief, but that's just the start. I can't comprehend why after really thinking about it anyone would have "faith" in a super-being as proclaimed by old stories, where in our day and age we have science and an understanding of the universe that would be god-like or magical to the people living during that time, back then the earth was flat. Please deeply think it over for a few days and answer this. Why do you believe in God (the man) and his bible?
