living by the sword - john lincoln wright & the sourmash revue lyrics

lately, i’ve been watchin’ lots of late*night tv shows
now, i’m not sacreligious, but i’d like ya all to know
the way they sell the lord like soap has got my soul out on the run
they’re so sure when jesus comes he’d be a fine american

he’d speak in english, he’ll wear a suit (so fine)
he’ll have a tv special and a satellite to boot
he’ll root for dallas, his hair will be well*trimmed
no wine in his chalice, ’cause he’s t**totalin’

mm*hm

now the facts, as i see ’em, stack up a different way
the kind that he stood up against are still with us today
and i ain’t so sure that i would recognize him when he comes
he’d be seen by poor and humble, and invisible to some

he might be funky, or he’ll be poor (so poor)
he’ll say things that you don’t wanna hear for sure
won’t do the talk shows, he might not vote
he might be african, australian, or serbian, or croat

so, think about his message when they ask you for your gold
god ain’t in your pocket if he’s livin’ in your soul
one day in the future, all the sheep within their folds
might throw them from their temples like the pharisees of old
oh jesus (oh jesus), oh lord (oh lord)
tell those people to stop selling you like chevrolets and fords
for love or money, you say the word
they’re talking ’bout the lamb of god, and living by the sword
they’re talking ’bout the lamb of god, and living by the sword
they’re talking ’bout the lamb of god, and living by the sword
