Absolved

Just give me your dollars
And I'll save your soul
All this heavenly money
Will buy you control
I eat it up
All you fools, beggars, and thieves
Your religious gimmicks
Will never get past me

Show me what you've really seen
(Stand down for the riothead)
Tell me what you really mean
(Kneel down for the riothead...
and all your sins will be absolved)

Just bring me your children
And I'll kiss their heads
Whisper lies softly
And tuck them in their beds
You make your rules
For the innocent, frail, and weak
You make them listen
But never let them speak

All your reasons and all your rhymes
I've heard it all a million times
Quote the bible line for line
Then sit back and count your dimes
