lyrics

see the preacher on TV,
he is telling lies to me
he says my soul will be set free
as long as I pay a nominal fee

evangelists with dollar signs in their eyes,
speak the word of god, they’re telling lies,
they’re ripping off, the elderly,
its prayer for profit, on your TV

believe in god and the word he speaks,
empty your pockets at least once a week,
collection plate comes better make a donation
pay thru your teeth for eternal salvation

evangelists with dollar signs in they’re eyes,
speak the word of god, they’re telling lies,
they’re ripping off, the elderly,
its prayer for profit, on your TV

make your checks to Jesus Christ,
installment plan for the afterlife
jesus saves all those who ask
as long as u have got the cash
