The Preacher Lyrics

I am the preacher

This is an insurrection

You think you can handle this

Well all right, let's go

Aw, 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 what about you

Or give a shit what you do you

They got me right from birth

Then like a slug to the chest

It went straight through my vest

Man, it blew up my heart

Yeah, and 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 full up with a rage

All this 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 threaten the hell

I took this to your kings

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

Oh, but religion is dead

It doesn't mean much to me

It 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

Aw, hell, go, amen
