Cover art for Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition lyrics by Serj Tankian

the chorus works just as well either way round

from love came creation -adam and eve stuff inspires first religions from the creation came the swing from the swing came the pauper - a pauper is a person who lives in poverty from the pauper came the king - a poor person needs someone to rule him, or to serve from the king came the prophet - the king decides that god wants him to do something, or he wants more power so proclaims himself or a puppet as a prophet to spread 'gods' word

the 'swing' could be taken to mean many things, it could mean fun/passtimes/procreation. and you cant have fun without work, if a powerful person, ie a king has lots of time having fun, someone else has to do a lot more work to make up for it, the pauper does this extra work
