VarietyGodmen turn conmen: Religion for sale
- The messiah lives in an enviable space
- holding court down the hall
- He’s even set up his own stall
- Gathered an audience to applaud.
-
- Words of wisdom emanate from his lips
- Thoughts from deep inside his head
- He knows it all, no need to think
- In fact you might as well be dead.
-
- He’ll bless you of course,
- tell you all you need.
- Calling himself the voice of God,
- doing his good deed.
-
- The people they look up to him,
- follow his every word
- The passion he stirs up in them,
- It’s astounding, it’s absurd.
-
- The people never pause to give a thought
- to their own belief
- Having another do your thinking,
- I guess is such a relief.
-
- The messiah he takes himself seriously,
- It’s a profitable trade
- His wisdom is for sale lady,
- but only till half past eight.
