The Preacher Lyrics

I am the preacher

This is an insurrection

You think you can handle this

Alright, let's go

Oh, yeah

I, I never asked for this

I, I never wanted this

But when I lie in my bed

can't get it out of my head

I never asked for this

They, they got me right from birth

They, they taught me right from birth

Not to care about you

or give a shit what you do

They got me right from birth

Oh, then like a slug to the chest

It went straight through my vest

Man, it blew up my heart

Yeah, it tore me apart

Now I am the preacher

I never asked for this

You, you tore me up inside

You started a war inside

Filled me up with the rage

All the suffering and pain

You tore me up inside

I, I took this to your kings

I, I did not learn a thing

Except to market and sell

And to threatened the hell

I took this to your kings

Oh, now I'm standing alone

Yeah, I'll go it alone

I guess I just didn't fit

Oh, now here comes the new shit

I am the preacher

Now God isn't dead

But religion is dead

It doesn't mean much to me

Doesn't mean anything

But God isn't dead

Oh, now this is my church

These are my people

This is my heart

This is my temple

This is my church

And I am the preacher

Oh, hell

Go

Amen
