Tax Free Lyrics

Front rooms, back rooms slide into tables Crowd into bathrooms, joke around Cheap talk, deep talk, talk, talk, around the clock
Crawl home, lie down, teeth chatter, heart pounds I don't feel so good, I don't feel so good Push a button to escape
Preacher on the tube crying, "Lord, here's evil In this land, rock 'n' roll music, cast down These dope-fiends an' their noisy bands, damn their souls"
Preacher preachin' love like vengeance Preachin' love like hate, callin' for large donations Promisin' estates, rollin' lawns an' angel bands Behind the pearly gates, you know, he will have his In this life but yours will have to wait
He's immaculately tax free Multiple hundreds of thousands of tax free Hundreds and millions of dollars, tax free A hundred billion dollars, and who is paying the price? Who, who? Your children are
Pissed off, jacked up, scream into the mike Spit into the lovin' cup, strut like a rooster, march like a man God's hired hands and the devil bands
Packing the same grandstands, different clothes Pot in their pockets, different hair, sexually active Raise a screamin' guitar or a Bible in the air Theater of anguish, theater of glory God's hired hands and the devil bands
Oh, come let us adore, me Lord, there's danger in this land You get witch-hunts and wars When church and state hold hands
Fuck it, tonight I'm going dancin' With the drag queens and the punks Big beat deliver me from this sanctimonious skunk We're no flamin' angels, he's not Heaven sent How can he speak for the 'Prince of Peace' When he's hawk-right militant
He's immaculately tax free Our nation has lost its guts, save me Our nation has lost its strength, tax free Our nation has whimpered and cried, save me
And petted the Castros, tax free The Khomeinis and the Kaddafis, save me For so long, tax free That we don't know how to act like a man, save me
I think that we should turn the United States Marines lose On that little island south of Florida an' stop that problem
I am preachin' love, I am
