Usurpers in the Pulpit

They pray in Megachurches In the heartland on a hill With Mic'd-up MAGA pastors Pushing lies and poison pills The preachers fret to scare you but tell you God is on your side The trap they set ensnares you And takes your lost soul for a ride After wine and half-truths whispered And communion wafer snacks The paid-for-MAGA pastor Launches fascist-fueled attacks [chorus] In alliance with the devil In accordance with their greed Usurpers in the pulpit Twisting sermons into screeds Pals in persecution The grievance-driven crowd Bathed in absolution And a bigotry allowed The violence that awaits us Is sectarian in its hate Gun toting bible thumpers To make the US Great They’ll legislate their creed And burn the rest in smoke and ash Put their ten upon the wall Tossing yours into the trash [chorus] In alliance with the devil In accordance with their greed Usurpers in the pulpit Twisting sermons into screeds They’d rather force you to your knees, Than let you worship as you wish Live your life by their decrees And Donny T as your commish It's not about the Magi Or the Christ child in the manger But how Jesus loves America and Beware the stranger danger Look at who they've chosen To be the leader of their flock An impetuous empty vessel who has never taken stock [chorus] In alliance with the devil In accordance with their greed Usurpers in the pulpit Twisting sermons into screeds
