|
The cowboy came from out of the west |
|
With his snakeskin boots and his bulletproof vest |
|
Gang of goons and his big war chest |
|
Fortunate son he was doubly blessed |
|
Corporate cronies and the chiefs of staff |
|
Bowin' to the image of the golden calf |
|
Startin up wars in the name of god's son |
|
Gonna blow us all the way to kingdom come |
|
|
|
Man of god, man of god |
|
That ain't the teachings of a man of god |
|
Man of god, man of god |
|
That ain't the preachings of a man of god |
|
|
|
Coalition of the willing and the judgmental |
|
Patricians, politicians, and the fundamentalists |
|
You never have to tell them how the money's spent |
|
You never have to tell them where their freedom went |
|
Homophobes in the high command |
|
Waitin' for the rapture like it's disneyland |
|
Hide all the bodies from out of view |
|
Channel all the treasure to the chosen few |
|
|
|
Man of god, man of god |
|
That ain't the teachings of a man of god |
|
Man of god, man of god |
|
That ain't the preachings of a man of god |
|
|
|
If I could I surely would |
|
Stand on the rock where moses stood |
|
Look out people now we're gonna get fleeced |
|
By a wolf masquerading as a man of peace |
|
|
|
Jesus said blessed are the meek |
|
Jesus said you gotta turn the other cheek |
|
Jesus said help the poor and the weak |
|
If he lived today he'd be a liberal freak |
|
All the money changers would be out on the street |
|
Weepin and wailin and nashin their teeth |
|
Me I'm waitin on the reckoning day |
|
When the whole world gonna rise up and say |
|
|
|
Man of god, man of god |
|
That ain't the teachings of a man of god |
|
Man of god, man of god |
|
That ain't the preachings of a man of god |
|
|
|
Man of god, man of god |
|
That ain't the teachings of a man of god |
|
Man of god, man of god |
|
That ain't the preachings of a man of god |
