from the songs album Gretchen Goes To Nebraska
Broken body it's joints at war
Religious vipers sucking royal blood
The price is paid
The final score
The truth exists
Even through pious mud
Who are these people
Behind the stained glass window
Have they forgotten
Just what they came here for
Was it salvation or scared of hell
Or an assembly of a social get-together
Chorus:
What's the mission of the preacher man?
Some are true some do lie
What's the mission of the preacher man?
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
A threat of justice the lazy judge
The governess teaches his son to scream
Adopted child
True plan to trudge
No minor plot to undermine his dream
Who are these people
Behind the stained glass windows
Have they forgotten
Just what they came here for
Was it salvation or scared of hell
Or an assembly of a social get-together
Chorus:
What's the mission of the preacher man?
Some are true some do lie
What's the mission of the preacher man?
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Solo
Who are these people
Behind the stained glass windows
Have they forgotten
Just what they came here for?
Was it salvation or scared of hell
Or an assembly of a social get-together
Chorus:
What's the mission of the preacher man?
Some are true some do lie
What's the mission of the preacher man?
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
(repeat)
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
