Give us this day our daily dose of faux affliction
Forgive our sins forged at the pulpit
With forked tongues selling faux sermons
Because I am a new wave gospel sharp
And you'll be thy witness
So gentlemen, if you're gonna preach
For God sakes preach with convictionStrike up the band
Oh, the conductor is beckoning
Come, congregation, and let's sing it like you mean it
No, don't you get it, don't you get it, now
Don't you moveStrike up the band
Oh, the conductor is beckoning
Come, congregation, and let's sing it like you mean it
No, don't you get it, don't you get it now
Don't you moveJust stay where I can see you
Douse the lightsWe sure are in for a show tonightIn this little number we are graced by two displays of character
We've got the gunslinger extraordinaire
Walking contradiction
And I for one can see no blood from the hearts
And the wrists you allegedly slit
And I for one won't stand for this
If this scene were a parish you'd all be condemnedStrike up the band
Oh, the conductor is beckoning
Come, congregation, and let's sing it like you mean it
No, don't you get it, don't you get it now
Don't you moveStrike up the band
Oh, the conductor is beckoning
Come, congregation, and let's sing it like you mean it
No, don't you get it, don't you get it?
Don't you, don't you moveJust stay where I can see you
Douse the lights
We sure are in for a show tonight
Just stay where I can see you
Douse the lights
We sure are in for a show tonight
Stay where I can see you
Douse the lightsStrike up the band
Oh, the conductor is beckoning
Come, congregation, and let's sing it like you mean it
No, don't you get it, don't you get it now
Don't you moveStrike up the band
Oh, the conductor is beckoning
Come, congregation, and let's sing it like you mean it
No, don't you get it, don't you get it now
Don't you move
Don't you move
Don't you move
Strike up the band
