[Intro]
Em Am G B
Give us this day our daily dose of faux affliction
Em
Forgive our sins
Am G B
Forged at the pulpit with forked tongues selling faux sermons.
Em Am G B
'Cause I am a new wave gospel sharp, and you'll be thy witness
Em Am G Am B
So gentlemen, if you're gonna preach, for God sakes preach with conviction!
[Chorus]

Strike up the band!
Whoa-oh, the conductor is beckoning

[Second Verse]
Em Am G B
In this little number we're graced by two displays of character,
Em Am G B
We've got: the gunslinger extraordinaire walking contradictions
Em Am G B
And I for one can see no blood from the hearts and the wrists you allegedly slit
Em Am G Am B
And I for one won't stand for this if this scene were a parish you'd all be condemned.
[Chorus]

Strike up the band!
