Mr. preacher on the t.v. screen

tells me that he knows just what I need

he's "been there before...and back again"

but with that fancy suit I find it hard to believe

he says the Lord will be so faithful, that he'll protect

but only if I'm faithful with my monthly check

I've never sent him my money

probably never will

(oooo!) I guess that means I live

my life on the edge!?!!??

preacher (pope john 2nd chorus)

your time will come

you lead the church astray

for a steady income

you can bet

God won't forget

but if you'd like

I'd (gladly!) tie a millstone

around your neck (matt. 18:6)

his nothingness on a simple throne

(Christ mediates for God, and Christ alone!)

just another man in a ridiculous hat

held accountable for the seeds he's sown

cancel the tours and the material things

the people bowing to you and kissing your rings

guide them only to their knees

seeking forgiveness today

cast no doubt as to what they need
