lyrics

Selling the word, Swindling the populous, Deceiving the devout,
Boisterous Orations, Subtle Bullying
Spiritual renewal as mass conversion from a peasant prophet
Came into the town on the heels of a dream
Words of inspiration reset of your spiritual sense

Making the lesson and word at the peoples expense

Laughing and ridiculing the meager in anticipation of the scheme
Mobile Church as Roving Temple in a Plastic Church Hall
Far-fetched concepts indoctrinating the gullible masses who dream

The cynical taking of the hope of the audience crafted into fire, obscene
The self-appointed shaman of the vulnerable and weak will speak

Leaving just trail of smoke behind for them to rely on
Nothing tangible just the cruel machinations of a wicked facade
Storefront as Church as Temple as Church Hall, Chapter and verse
The old prayers find foreign company in such haunting passages
Turning the holy of holies into a sideshow of the circus
Delivering a messiah who is really a clown in rude clothing
