Get Off Your Knees And Get To Work

If you find yourself to be a resident
Of the capital or of the city hall
As a governor, or mayor, or as president
You're a public servant to us all
You were not elected as our pastor in chief
And preaching on the job is not a perk
Govern us with reason and not belief
Get off your knees and get to work
Get off your knees and start thinking
The answers will be found right here on Earth
Unbow your head and open your eyes
Get off your knees and get to work
It makes no actual difference what you say to God
He may as well be Santa or an elf
Everytime you bow your head and pray to God
You are only talking to yourself
If you run your office with propriety
Your first amendment duties you *?*
Everybody's tired of your piety
Get off those knees and get to work
Get off your knees and start thinking
The answers will be found right here on Earth
Unbow your head and open your eyes
Get off your knees and get to work
Faith won't fix the budget
Prayer won't pay the bills
Hope will never nudge it
But taxing churches will
Get off your knees and start thinking
The answers will be found right here on Earth
Unbow your head and open your eyes
Get off your knees and get to work
