Clawfinger - Profit Preacher

Clawfinger - Profit Preacher  (from album: Clawfinger - Deaf Dumb Blind (1993) Lyrics: Please Mr. T.V preacher won't you spare me from all of your crap
You've got nothing to say except people pay
And make my pay-check fat
You see the lord needs money to heal you
To be able too save your souls
Your cash, your checks, your N.Y flats
All your silver and all your gold
I'm telling all you fine young people
That anything expensive will do
Just free yourselves from your material lust
And let the Lord take care of you God damn you Devil preacher
What do you think that you're playing at?
You're gaining your wealth but you're losing yourself
When you're talking all that crap
You see I don't believe in Jesus
He ain't the son of our creator
You say that you do but I feel sorry for you
Cause' your a god damn money taker
You don't really believe in the bible, do you even believe in yourself?
Well no I don't believe in the good Lord, you see I believe in myself Well I've heard that one before
(The good Lord wants you to do it)
You give it all and he still wants more
You are forgiven child I've got lots of better things to do than be praying on my knees
I ain't begging for no forgiveness with some pretty pretty please
It's a waste of my time
I won't ever sell my soul with your dirty dirty lies
My holy book is in my head and my belief is in my eyes
I'm what you call a "non-believer"
I won't be knocking on heavens door
It's a load of god damn bullshit and I've heard all that crap before
So no I won't buy your morals and I'll never listen to your threats
I won't confess none of my sins to you
Cause' I've paid all my debts Your ripping off a whole nation
And you make them all want to believe
They're paying you with their hard earned cash
And you stick it up your sleeve
So spare me your speech because I couldn't care less
For your brainwashed point of view
No cross to bare and no God to bless you won't ever make me be like you Well I've heard that one before
(The good Lord wants you to do it)
You give it all and he still wants more
(The good Lord wants you to do it)
Will you sell your soul for a lie?
(The good Lord wants you to do it)
Well you can kiss your sweet ass goodbye! Jesus Christ was crucified and with him your religion died
Leaving nothing left but pain and greed
Religious wars is all you breed
The nature of our human will was not to learn to rape and kill
The rights of every human creature we don't need no devil-preacher Profit before people is that moral to you?
Well I guess it is with your damn show-biz
You make their dreams come true
You keep filling up you pockets
And you fill them all up with belief With your lies of love and the good God above
And then Jesus brought us peace
Standing on the T.V. screen
Your suit is straight and your teeth are clean
Telling lies that fool the nation
The God above was your creation
It's all so easy to see
It's a load of fucking bullshit to me
And as far as I'm concerned
You're the Judas of humanity Well I've heard that one before
(The good Lord wants you to do it)
You give it all and he still wants more
(The good Lord wants you to do it)
Will you sell your soul for a lie?
(The good Lord wants you to do it)
Well you can kiss your sweet ass goodbye!  ================================================================ There is no religion higher than the truth. justmec
