1. Believe in me and send no money,
G A
I died on the cross, that ain’t funny,
E
D
but
my so-called friends, they’re making me a joke,
G A
they
missed out what I said like I never spoke.
E D
They choose what they wanna hear, don’t tell a lie,
G A
they
just leave out the truth as they’re watching you die.
E D
They’re saving the souls by
taking your money,
G A
flies
around shit, bees around honey.
E
G D A
Holy smoke, holy smoke, plenty bad preachers for the devil to stoke,
E G
feed them in feet first, this is
no joke,
D - A G
E - G

2. Jimmy Reptile and all his friends
G A
say
they’re gonna be with you at the end,
E D
G A
burning
records, burning books, holy soldiers, Nazi looks.
E D
Crocodile smiles,
just wait a while
G A
till
the TV Queen gets her make-up clean,
E D
I’ve lived in filth, I’ve lived in sin,
G A
and I
still smell cleaner than the shit you’re in.
E G D A
Holy smoke, holy smoke, plenty bad preachers for the devil to stoke,
E G
feed them in feet first, this is
no joke,
D - A G E

3. They ain’t religious, but they ain’t no fools,
G A
when
Noah built his Cadillac, it was cool.
E D
Two by two, they’re still
going down,
G A
and
the satellite circus just left town.
E
D
I think they’re strange, and
when they’re dead,
G
A
they
can have a Lincoln for their bed.
E D
Friend of the president, trick
of the tail,
G A
now
they ain’t got a prayer, one hundred years in jail.
