Lyrics
Get around prepare the walk
Get ready to walk and prepare for the journey.
The preacher will come, he’ll talk the talk
The preacher is coming to deliver a message or sermon.
Shine your shoes, let’s build his throne
Clean up and be ready to support and establish the preacher's authority.
Give all you can, build stone on stone
Contribute all you can to build a strong foundation, metaphorically represented by "stone on stone."
Bigger and better than ever before
Aim for something larger and superior compared to the past.
Exceed the limits your hands are sore
Push beyond your limits, even if it causes physical discomfort.
You will provide you will abide
You are expected to provide and conform to the preacher's guidance.
Who can’t keep up is left behind
If someone cannot keep up, they will be left behind.
Preaching is what preachers do
Preaching is the primary activity of preachers.
But fuck who puts the weight on who
Expressing frustration about the distribution of responsibility or burden.
Get around the preacher’s gone
The preacher has left; the situation has changed.
He packed and left the place alone
The preacher left without company or support.
He promised all for everyone
The preacher made promises, but now actions must follow words.
But what’s been said must now be done
Emphasizing the importance of fulfilling spoken commitments.
Who has been filling you with hope
Questioning the source of hope, implying it may be deceptive or misleading.
It was the devil in a velvet rope
Suggesting that false hope comes from a deceptive entity, represented as the devil in a velvet rope.
And who stands firm and keeps the course
Identifying those who remain steadfast and stay on the right path.
The grinder and the working horse
Highlighting the resilience and diligence of common people, represented as the grinder and the working horse.
Preaching is what preachers do
Reiteration that preaching is the primary function of preachers.
But fuck who puts the weight on who
Repeating frustration about the distribution of responsibility or burden.
So much lifeblood and spilled whine
Reflecting on the significant efforts and sacrifices made, perhaps without significant results.
Just to make a talker shine
Describing the effort put into making someone who talks (preacher) stand out.
