Man of God - Eliza Gilkyson

Well the cowboy came from out of the west

With his snakeskin boots and his bulletproof vest

Gang of goons and his big war chest

Fortunate son he was doubly blessed

Corporate cronies and the chiefs of staff

Bowing to the image of the golden calf

Startin up wars in the name of god’s son

Gonna blow us all the way to kingdom come

Man of god, man of god

That ain’t the teachings of a man of god

Man of god, man of god

That ain’t the preachings of a man of god

Coalition of the fearcul and the judgemental

Patricians, politicians, and the fundamentalistas

You never have to tell them how the money’s spent

You never have to tell them where their freedom went

Homophobes in the high command

Waitin for the rapture like it’s disneyland

Hide all the bodies from out of view

Channel all the treasure to the chosen few

Man of god, man of god…

If I could I surely would

Stand on the rock where moses stood

Look out people now we’re gonna get fleeced

By a wolf masquerading as a man of peace

Jesus said blessed are the meek

Jesus said you gotta turn the other cheek

Jesus said help the poor and the weak

If he lived today he’d be a liberal freak

All the money changers would be out on the street

Weepin and wailin and gnashin their teeth

Me I’m waitin on the reckoning day

When the whole world gonna rise up and say

Man of god, man of god…
