Bootleg
Down home preacher… paced back and forth
In the name of Jesus…
Casting out demons …left and right…
Named them …sending them back to HELL…
Calling them out …loud… and vulgar
Working him or herself …into a frenzy
Thumping that …well worn bible…
Having sinners squirm …in their seats
Sweating bullets …talking about forgiveness
Delivering sermons …and breaking the pace
With good old, down home …gospel music…
Pass the plate …one time…
Not enough! …turn on the juice…
…cause if you squeeze the congregation, right…
The cash will flow …we all know…
Tell …and show, YOU mean business…
Shut the devil down …on this day…
That’s just how it goes
Even though, money is tight
If the message doesn’t hit home
Those offering plates
Will be looking mighty skimpy
Raise Hell …and shut it back down…
WATCH OUT
This one’s a spinner …a dancer…
A stare you down …hard charging, screamer…
She’s a soft spoken, down low voice
Building up …to a tempest…
SHOUTER!!!
Killing off devils …calling out sins…
Talking about lusting …people…
Like they were trying to be …slick and wicked…
Acting cute …dressing fly,
Trying to catch a honey …on the sly
Sometimes …the church deacons
Would gather together
To support one another
Shout, march …and stomp…
Now, that’s …a bootleg church…
A country church…
For people…
Who
Really, love
…Jesus…
