> the cowboy came from out of the west

> with his snakeskin boots and his bulletproof vest

> gang of goons and his big war chest

> fortunate son he was doubly blessed

> corporate cronies and the chiefs of staff

> bowing to the image of the golden calf

> startin up wars in the name of god's son

> gonna blow us all away to kingdom come

>

> [Chorus]

> man of god, man of god

> that ain't the teachings of a man of god

> man of god, man of god

> that ain't the preachings of a man of god

>

> coalition of the fearful and the judgmental

> patricians, politicians, and the fundamentalists

> you never have to tell them how the money's spent

> you never have to tell them where their freedom went

> homeophobes in the high command

> waitin' for the rapture like it's disneyland

> hide all the bodies from out of view

> channel all the treasure to the chosen few

>

> man of god, man of god....[Chorus]

>

> if I could, I surely would

> stand on the rock where moses stood

> look out people now we're gonna get fleeced

> by a wolf masquerading as a man of peace

>

> jesus said blessed are the meek

> jesus said you gotta turn the other cheek

> jesus said help the poor and the weak

> if he lived today he'd be a liberal freak

> all the money changers would be out on the street

> weepin and wailin and gnashin their teeth

> me I'm waitin on the reckoning day

> when the whole world gonna rise up and say

>

> man of god, man of god....[Chorus]
