Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Christian

You wear a Sunday suit and tie
Everybody thinks you're such a guy
Climbing up the American dream
Got the whole world on a golden string

You've got the glow, a shining face
Respectable man with holy taste
Got that family pew reserved
When the hymns are sung your voice is heard

But late one night you got your plan
You'd be religious on demand

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Christian
It's a mask you wear to hide
You got a notion, God's a potion
And it works most every time
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Christian

Experimented with your eyes
Just to get a bigger piece of pie
I really think you do believe
Yet you use religion to deceive

So when it's time for you know who
You feel the change come over you

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Christian
It's a mask you wear to hide
You got a notion, God's a potion
And it works most every time
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Christian
What is faith, what is a lie
Don't you know that, can't you see that
God is not your alibi

Now when that change comes over you
There's almost nothing you can do

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Christian
It's a mask you wear to hide
You got a notion, God's a potion
And it works most every time
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Christian
What is faith, what is a lie
Don't you know that, can't you see that
God is not your alibi
