Unveiling the Hypocrisy: Profits Masked as Prayers in 'Saints'
Lyrics
You preach the holy word
You proclaim religious teachings
But the life you live is absurd
Your lifestyle contradicts the principles you preach
You fill your pockets
You accumulate wealth
While the poor skyrocket
While the impoverished suffer immensely
Sit atop your castle, high
You reside in a position of privilege
Spit verse to keep your followers pacified
You use rhetoric to placate your followers
Keep praying to your saints
You continue to pray to revered figures
You're nothing but a fucking fake
You are exposed as a hypocritical impostor
You put your hands up to take collection
You raise your hands to collect offerings
It's prophet for profit
Your religious actions are driven by financial gain
It's prophet for profit
Repeated emphasis on the profit motive
No aid will come
No help will be provided
You speak with hollow tongue
Your words lack sincerity and substance
Penniless you shun
You reject those without financial means
Only open the doors to everyone who pays
Doors open only for those who can pay
In the name of god and his holy saints
Exploiting religious names for personal gain
Keep praying to your saints
Continued reliance on revered figures
You're nothing but a fucking fake
Reiteration of your deceptive nature
You put your hands up to take collection
You seek offerings with raised hands
It's prophet for profit
Highlighting the profit-driven nature of your actions
It's prophet for profit
Emphasis on the profit motive reiterated
Get on your knees
Call to submit before a sinful leader
Before the sinner's king
Encouragement to make appeals
Make out your pleas
Before payment for your...
Before you pay for your
Encouragement to plead before paying
Get on your knees
Reiteration of submission to a sinful figure
Before the sinner's king
Encouragement to appeal
Make out your pleas
Before payment for your...
Before your pay for your
Encouragement to plead before paying
Greed
The destructive force of greed
Before you pay for your greed
Before facing consequences for your greed
