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
