about

I don't much care for Joel Osteen & his ilk. Of course, I could be wrong.

lyrics

v1:
They don't wanna be like Jesus,
they just wanna be like you
I've been listening to you talk,
I ain't sure that it's all true
Separating fact from fiction,
tell me what's a man like me to do

v2:
I don't care much for your hairdo,
but I kinda like your smile
Hey, boy, is there a forked tongue
behind those pearly whites?
I know I shouldn't ask,
but tell me how you sleep at night

ch:
I can't pretend to know your heart
And sometimes I don't do my part
So I can't judge, but I often start to wonder
What's going on behind those walls
That's an awfully strange altar call
One by one, we all fall, this spell you've got us under

v3:
You don't invite me o'er to your place,
but I seen pictures from the sky
5 cars & a swimming pool,
I wanna make 'em mine
I send you all my dollars,
God pays me back in dimes

v4:
You list 7 steps to living,
but the Bible just has 2
Love God and love your neighbor,
don't that sound a little more true?
Don't do me any favors
I'm just tellin' you what I think I should do

ch:
I can't pretend to know your heart
And sometimes I don't do my part
So I can't judge, but I often start to wonder
What's going on behind those walls
That's an awfully strange altar call
One by one, we all fall, this spell you've got us under

v5:
I probably should fault you
You're just tryin' to make a buck
But all those people down in Houston
just seem like sitting ducks
I won't stoop to vulgar words
so I guess I'm outta luck

v6:
The Son of Man, he walked the earth,
no place to lay his head
In small towns they're all lining up
for a loaf of week-old bread
All this cash you been takin' in?
Try giving it out instead
(It'll feel good)

ch:
I can't pretend to know your heart
And sometimes I don't do my part
So I can't judge, but I often start to wonder
What's going on behind those walls
That's an awfully strange altar call
One by one, we all fall, this spell you've got us under
-----
I have heard that Jesus cried
If he was here to hear your lies
He'd cry out with a voice as loud as thunder
