<\/a><\/p>\nIs this just fantasy?<\/p>\n
Scholarly landslide<\/p>\n
An escape from reality<\/p>\n
Open the Gospels<\/p>\n
Find parallels and see<\/p>\n
Because it\u2019s Markan priority<\/p>\n
Then Matt and Luke agree<\/p>\n
Anyway the wind blows, Q stuff really matters to me, to me<\/p>\n
Farrar debunked the trend<\/p>\n
Laid out evidence and said<\/p>\n
The Q theory should be shed<\/p>\n
Goulder made Q-debunking fun<\/p>\n
Now Goodacre has shown us all the way<\/p>\n
Kloppenborg oooooh didn\u2019t mean to make you cry<\/p>\n
If the Synoptic problem\u2019s solved this time tomorrow<\/p>\n
Carry on, carry on<\/p>\n
As if Q still really matters<\/p>\n
Too late, Q\u2019s time has come<\/p>\n
Luke was reading Matthew\u2019s lines<\/p>\n
He rewrote them all just fine<\/p>\n
Goodbye everybody \u2013 Q\u2019s got to go<\/p>\n
Gotta leave Q far behind and face the truth<\/p>\n
Tuckett, ooooh<\/p>\n
Q won\u2019t want to die<\/p>\n
I sometimes wish they\u2019d not posited it at all<\/p>\n
I see a little silhouetto of a source<\/p>\n
Burton Mack, Marcus Borg, must you publish editions?<\/p>\n
Layered Q redactions \u2013 have so little traction, see?<\/p>\n
B. H. Streeter, Robert Stein,<\/p>\n
F. G. Downing, Frans Neirynck,<\/p>\n
James M. Robinson also \u2013 They all say so<\/p>\n
I\u2019m just a scholar, nobody loves me<\/p>\n
He\u2019s just a scholar, at a university<\/p>\n
Spare him these too complex hypotheses<\/p>\n
Sources come sources go \u2013 will you let Q go?<\/p>\n
Let Q go! No \u2013 we will not let Q go \u2013 let it go<\/p>\n
Let Q go! We will not let Q go \u2013 let it go<\/p>\n
Let Q go! We will not let Q go \u2013 let it go<\/p>\n
Will not let Q go \u2013 let it go<\/p>\n
Never let Q go \u2013 let it go<\/p>\n
Never let Q go \u2013 ooo<\/p>\n
No, no, no, no, no, no, no \u2013<\/p>\n
Oh Mark Goodacre, Mark Goodacre, Mark Goodacre let Q go<\/p>\n
Johann Griesbach has some choice words set aside for thee<\/p>\n
for thee<\/p>\n
for thee<\/p>\n
If you posit redaction and set Q aside<\/p>\n
Say Luke took Matthew\u2019s sermons and then pulverized<\/p>\n
Your case cements with minor agreements<\/p>\n
You\u2019re gonna get Q, just wanna get Q outta here<\/p>\n
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah<\/p>\n
Q still really matters<\/p>\n
Anyone can see<\/p>\n
Q still really matters \u2013 Q still really matters to me<\/p>\n
