I will take your wages and give some back to you.
So you don't feel a fool in the mirror at night.
You can buy you groceries and feel that you're secure.
You followed all my rules.
Now, just shut your eyes.
Cause Jesus loves me.
So I have authority to meddle in things no one ever should.
Learn you numbers and then you can be like me.
A gluttonous wolf who's imperially good.
You can have my freedom.
You don't get to choose to rise against the delusion that steering your life.
I'll provide the weapons to your worst enemy.
So you can fight it out and I'll keep what survives
I swear that you can trust me.
Because my name was changed.
My triple play at dawn has bathed me in fire.
I will show your wrongness so that you can fix your friends.
You'll gather around this rock with wet, doe-y eyes.
