lirik lagu mohawks on the scaffold – andrew peterson
verse 1
everybody’s gotta have a building program –
sticking that money up, brick-on-brick
oh, we got to have praise team worship –
fourteen services, take your pick
everybody’s gotta have special music
we don’t want dead air when the plate goes by
oh, its got to be a three point sermon
with a poem and a pun to break the ice
bridge
oh, the organ hit the d-chord
it’s time to sing the doxology
stand up! praise the good lord
please define doxology
verse 2
now we take communion
first a word to prepare our heads
joe stands up and talks politics
says a prayer, and we break the bread
bridge 2
we take the cup and we quench our thirst
dismiss the children to children’s church
stand and greet your neighbor first –
well every aspect is well-rehe-rs-d
chorus
(we’re like) mohawks on the scaffold
heedless of the danger
don’t look down at the city
brother, its a long way to fall
like mohawks on the scaffold
strolling on the ivy
hallelujah! praise the lord, he’s our buddy, after all
verse 3
oh, brother, don’t get upset
you see i got my perfect attendance badge:
sunday school and the vbs
i even pledged allegiance to the christian flag
four years in bible college –
well, i tucked my shirt and i cut my hair
oh, sister, don’t get me wrong –
i learned a lot about jesus there
bridge 3
i went to cl-ss and i wore a tie
i learned about who’s wrong and why
point the finger at the other guy
with the clearly flawed theology
chorus
(we’re like) mohawks on the scaffold
heedless of the danger
don’t look down at the city
brother, its a long way to fall
like mohawks on the scaffold
strolling on the ivy
hallelujah! praise the lord, he’s a puzzle in our song
spoken:
well, i hope you’re pickin’ up on my sarcasm, cos i’m laying it on pretty thick
it’s a useful tool of communication; even god himself has employed that trick
so if you’ll turn with me in your bibles to the book of job, chapter thirty-eight
he’ll remind us who we’re dealing with. i hope you don’t mind my paraphrase
bridge 4
sometimes its like we’re sleeping on an airbus
like we’re taking home a little bear-cub
like we’re hiking mount vesuvius
like we’re cooking s’mores on the burning bush
chorus
(we’re like) mohawks on the scaffold
heedless of the danger
don’t look down at the city
brother, its a long way to fall
like mohawks on the scaffold
strolling on the ivy
hallelujah! praise the lord, he’s so patient…
he’s so patient with us all
