[ Politics & Religion ] Easy Money, False Prophet

        
Buddy Christ making bank in stereo      
Static broadcast on my wavelength      
Agent of God immaculately in the Know      
Public relations definitely not your strength      
       
More suited for breaking rock with a pick axe      
like all other messianistic hacks      
Collection plate passed down every row      
Tollbooth at Heaven's Gate requires a hefty tax      
       
Savior of souls you purport yourself to be      
supposedly whoring your services for free      
Living in luxury, righteously fervent      
Grand illusion of an indentured servant      
       
Fighting tooth and nail to save your own skin      
from vow of poverty exempting you from sin      
I foresmell a crispy critter roasting on a spit      
Give up the Holy Ghost and get on with it      
       
To Hell with you      
FALSE PROPHET      
Give it up, Just stop it      
       
To Hell with you      
FALSE PROPHET      
For once in your life be honest      
       
Witness your deception as you try to turn a profit      
pawning our sins in redemptive expectation      
as if the power was yours to spare us Damnation      
What gave you such a ridiculous inclination      
       
Nothing if not subtle are your hypocrisies      
Turning people further from God toward heresies      
His own worst enemy next to the Lord of Lies, Satan      
Irony is, you'll be in good company then      
       
To Hell with you      
FALSE PROPHET      
Give it up, quit pretending      
The lower you go---      
the swifter the descending      
Fabrications, guilt tactics, the fiction      
---from thine own mouth      
trumpets another contradiction        
Fallen angels like pennies from Heaven      
consumed by friction      
hit the ground the hardest      
I would gladly make a contribution      
If only to see you for once being honest
