Say One Thing (Do Another) (JZ, MH, NV)
Well I know this lady, always talking about this book
Says it will make me better if I would only take a look
But she sent away her child and her temper sure aint mild
Well you know that it’s a fact, it doesn’t really matter how you act
When you say one thing and do another. And the very same book orders you to honor your mother
What’s a Son-In-Law to do when they’ve got it in for you?
Early Sunday morning the church is always packed
Preacher tells you how to live then walks to his Cadillac
And everything is downright great, fill that collection plate
It’s all going to be OK when you run the Sabbath day
Because you can say one thing and do another, is that the price we pay to hear “love your brother?”
I don’t care what you say; I’ve found it’s all the same
They’ll excuse what you do, long as you can talk a good game
Hallelujah! Lacrimosa!
The folks in charge are always talking about the Lord and they got his A-OK to send your kids to war
Look at all the children die; you’re one of THEM if you ask why
It’s OK to pick a fight and you know you're always right
If you say one thing and do another, so grab your Bibles and your guns and run for cover
Hallelujah!
