SNAKE-tongued PAS-tor, SLICK and SLY,
WATCH-ing WITH a HUN-gry EYE,
PLOT-ting, SCHEM-ing, WEEK by WEEK,
SNIFF-ing OUT the NEXT one MEEK.
"BROTH-er, RUN! That's NOT your WIFE!
SHE'S a MER-maid, CHANGE your LIFE!
FINS be-NEATH her SUN-day DRESS!
PAY me NOW, I'll BLESS the MESS!"
"SIS-ter, HUSH, and LEAN in NEAR:
NEIGH-bors WANT you DIS-ap-PEARED!
POI-soned PIES on EV-'ry PLATE,
PRAY'R cloth's FIF-ty, DON'T be LATE!"
"GOD is GOOD, so GIVE, give, GIVE!
TITHE it SO the SAINTS can LIVE!
GOD is GOOD, so O-pen WIDE,
HAND it O-ver, DO not HIDE!"
"GOT a VI-sion, LORD'S own CALL:
NEED a JET, a PRI-vate HAUL!
HEAV-en's FAR and FLIGHTS are DEAR,
SEND your OF-f'ring RIGHT in HERE!"
DOL-lar SIGNS light UP his EYES,
POCK-ets EMP-ty, WHAT a PRIZE!
HOME in RU-ins, WIFE in TEARS,
PAS-tor's WHIS-tling, NO more FEARS.
SUN-day COMES, he TAKES the STAGE,
SWEAT-ing, SHOUT-ing, IN a RAGE,
PREACH-ing "BLESSED are the POOR,"
WHILE he COUNTS the CASH, ga-LORE.
"ASK him WHERE the MON-ey GOES:
FAN-cy CARS and FAN-cy CLOTHES,
MAN-sion WITH a HEAT-ed POOL,
BAP-tiz-ING the GREED-y FOOL!"
WATCH your WAL-let, WATCH your WIFE,
RUN from HIM to SAVE your LIFE!
SNAKE-tongued PAS-tor, SLICK and SLY,
KISS your WAL-let, SAY good-BYE!
