[Part I: The Congregation]
Fm
They come in crowds to hear him speak
E7
And he will greet them in a smile that sticks like Vaseline
Cm
So do your best to keep your distance in this instance
F#
You're a stranger in the weeds, some things are better left unseen
Fm
Commanding listeners to believe
E7
Manipulations of narrations: "Anno Domini"
Cm
Not with a whimper but a bang he'll take the stage
F#
And leave their jaws upon the floor begging for more
F F# G#
So Father, won't you tend your flock and save us now?
C# F#
Won't you save us now?
E7
Come and save us

[Part II: The Sermon in the Silt]
Fm
I hear you're looking for God
Well I can show you the way just as long as you can pay
C#7
But the price is going up...
C7
And like a prayer to the air we deliver you to glory (pay up)
Fm
I swear you'll get what you need
And we can lead you to salvation with the right denomination
C#7
It all lies in your hands
C7
Or in your pocketbook to be more demanding
[Chorus]

So you committed a sin?
Well, we can rid that with a remedy
C#7
The bidding starts at $70 sold to one and all
C7
Now get your hands ready to make a withdrawal
Fm
You've got no other way to find what you want
If it's a saving that you're craving and your confidence is fading
C#7
Be calm, the Doctor's in

I got the cure, because I know where you've been
