Stay Away From The Preacher

Took a job when I was 19, serving coffee to the local scene 

A guy came in, older than me he seemed

He would sit and watch as I prepared the drinks

Wore a knitted colorful thing, looked like he'd come right out of "Lord of the rings" 

He said he loved my vibe and raved on about how his third eye sight

He preached about the world

Preached about God

talked about evils, his dreams, trips to Cape Cod 

But self-declared prophets stay away-

I remember what my mama said  

Stay away from the Preacher

The one who scolds, and who judge, think they are all so much better 

Stay away from the Preacher

The one who splains and who drains

And think they always know better

He'd just sit there all day long

Preached as the voice of God 

Redeem your sins and you´ll learn to see 

Then he told me he could teach me things for free

There were only a couple of fees

A down payment for his expertise 

Dylan's words in 83'

sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace 

Preached about the world

Preached about God

Talked about evils, dreams, his trips to Cape Cod 

But self-declared prophets stay away-

I remember what my mama said 

Stay away from the Preacher

The one who scolds, and who judge and think they are all so much better 

Stay away from the Preacher

The one who splains and who drains

And think they always know better
