Tax Free

Front rooms, back rooms slide into tables

Crowd into bathrooms, joke around

Cheap talk, deep talk, talk, talk, around the clock

Crawl home, lie down, teeth chatter, heart pounds

I don't feel so good, I don't feel so good

Push a button to escape

Preacher on the tube crying, "Lord, here's evil

In this land, rock 'n' roll music, cast down

These ****-fiends an' their noisy bands, damn their souls"

Preacher preachin' love like vengeance

Preachin' love like hate, callin' for large donations

Promisin' estates, rollin' lawns an' angel bands

Behind the pearly gates, you know, he will have his

In this life but yours will have to wait

He's immaculately tax free

Multiple hundreds of thousands of tax free

Hundreds and millions of dollars, tax free

A hundred billion dollars, and who is paying the price?

Who, who? Your children are

Pissed off, jacked up, scream into the mike

Spit into the lovin' cup, strut like a rooster, march like a man

God's hired hands and the devil bands

Packing the same grandstands, different clothes

Pot in their pockets, different hair, ***ually active

Raise a screamin' guitar or a Bible in the air

Theater of anguish, theater of glory

God's hired hands and the devil bands

Oh, come let us adore, me

Lord, there's danger in this land

You get witch-hunts and wars

When church and state hold hands

**** it, tonight I'm going dancin'

With the drag queens and the punks

Big beat deliver me from this sanctimonious skunk

We're no flamin' angels, he's not Heaven sent

How can he speak for the 'Prince of Peace'

When he's hawk-right militant

He's immaculately tax free

Our nation has lost its guts, save me

Our nation has lost its strength, tax free

Our nation has whimpered and cried, save me

And petted the Castros, tax free

The Khomeinis and the Kaddafis, save me

For so long, tax free

That we don't know how to act like a man, save me

I think that we should turn the United States Marines lose

On that little island south of Florida an' stop that problem

I am preachin' love, I am
