Pulpit Of Sway Songtext
von Go Go Torpedo

He carries a jacknife, sleeps on the streets
Shoots off his mouth to the people he meets
He′s an American hero who's all out of fight
He calls his mama, says everything′s alright
But it's a LIE. Yeah, it's a lie
Because this old man is about to DIE


He had a family not so long ago
His heart went to boozing and job to Mexico
This man′s fought wars, though not much was taught
His views of the world are easily bought
He hates his neighbors in the food stamp line
He loves his government and hates it at the same time
His opinion matters, he has a few things to say
Fully automatic pulpit of sway!

Through the front doors of your church, theater, or school
Charges a man indefensibly cruel
With greasy, unkempt hair, and a devilish stare
He recites the scripture and fires in the air
See, when you last called your mama, said you were well
You were wrong... ′cause this American hero's gonna send you to hell
