Priests of the Modern Age

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
We want our leaders head and shoulders above the rest
We want a Jesus who agrees with our politics
We want to follow a dollar, not a crucifix
We want a master who will promise to meet our needs
'Cause we'd rather be in Egypt than believe
Would only take the path if we can see

[Verse 2]
When politicians are the priest of the modern age
You'll be sacrificed for power at a minimum wage
You'll be put out to pasture by the god you've made
You can wrap your soul in red and blue
Sеrving idols that'll never care about you
It'll lеaven the lump, just let it prove

[Chorus]
Oh, things are not okay
They're not okay
They're not okay
Things are not okay
They're not okay
They're not okay, yeah

[Verse 3]
We want a pastor who will feed us what we like
Tabernacles into markets, investing tithes
Shop around till we get a return we like
We'll turn the house of prayer into a den of thieves
Stealing glory from God to sing songs about me
Funny how encounters are never countering

[Verse 4]
Oh, confirmation bias never saved a soul
Celebrity Jesus can't make you whole
You can't buy and sell what you never owned
Only show up Sunday morning to be blessed
The only thing I need a savior for is stress
If you make it easy, then I'll say "Yes"

[Chorus]
Things are not okay
They're not okay
They're not okay
Things are not okay
They're not okay
They're not okay

[Outro]
Gameshow griftin' politic-in' media stars
Won't get down in the dirt to heal a broken heart
'Cause you can't stop the act once it starts
