Lyrics
Mission
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh 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 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?
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 path 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?
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
Bless God, the more I think about it
The more I think I was preaching the truth
I went down to the Cadillac Agency and one hour later
I drove out a new Cadillac, Hallelujah
Say "Praise the Lord," bless God
I'm gonna drive that Cadillac down here and
Get it dusty and dirty and use it for God
Hallelujah, thank You Jesus
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?
What's the mission of Preacher Man?
Some are true, some do lie
What's the mission of the Preacher Man?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say what's the mission of preacher, the Preacher Man?
Some are true, some do lie
What's the mission of, of the Preacher Man?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
