Well, first we'll build the lie
And then we build the show
And if we testify
They'll come from high and low
Then we rake, rake, rake
Rake in the money
We'll take, take, take
Take in the money
We'll rake, rake, rake
Rake in the money
We'll build a religion
Build a religion
Hold your hands up high
And wave 'em to and fro
And don't forget your tithe
Heaven's not free, you know
And then we rake, rake, rake
Rake in the money
We'll take, take, take
Take in the money
We'll rake, rake, rake
Rake in the money
We'll build a religion
Build a religion
We'll find a savior
Who's already dead
Manipulate the words that he said
We'll be the guardians of morality
We'll trick them and steal all their things
And we'll be kings!
And we'll be kings!
And we'll be kings!
And we'll be kings!
Woah
The weak are first to go
Woah
The weak are first to go
Woah
The weak are first to go
Woah
The weak are first to go
We'll find a savior
Who's already dead
Manipulate the words that he said
We'll be the guardians of morality
We'll trick them and steal all their things
And we'll be kings!
And we'll be kings!
And we'll be kings!
And we'll be kings!
