They come in crowds to hear him speak
                            E7
And he will greet them in a smile that sticks like Vaseline
                             Cm
So do your best to keep your distance in this instance
                                                              F#
You're a stranger in the weeds, some things are better left unseen

Fm
Commanding listeners to believe
                   E7
Manipulations of narrations: "Anno Domini"
                         Cm
Not with a whimper but a bang he'll take the stage
                                                F#
And leave their jaws upon the floor begging for more

So Father, won't you tend your flock and save us now?
          C#      F#
Won't you save us now?
         E7
Come and save us

[Part II: The Sermon in the Silt]

Fm
I hear you're looking for God

Well I can show you the way just as long as you can pay
        C#7
But the price is going up...
                                  C7
And like a prayer to the air we deliver you to glory (pay up)
Fm
I swear you'll get what you need

And we can lead you to salvation with the right denomination
   C#7
It all lies in your hands
           C7
Or in your pocketbook to be more demanding

So you committed a sin?

Well, we can rid that with a remedy
                          C#7
The bidding starts at $70 sold to one and all
                                       C7
Now get your hands ready to make a withdrawal
              Fm
You've got no other way to find what you want

If it's a saving that you're craving and your confidence is fading
   C#7
Be calm, the Doctor's in
                                            C7
I got the cure, because I know where you've been
