Lyrics
Preacher is preachin'
How you should live
Instead of teaching
With the love they give
They ask for money
In the name of The Lord
And they line their pockets
Keep comin' back for more
Draggin' you down
Chippin' away
Misleading you all
With the things they say
What they feed you
Start to believe
Giving you just enough
To make you needy
By the time you wake up
They're already gone
Looking for the next fool
To come along
Draggin' you down
Chippin' away
Misleading you all
With the things they say
Shatters your world
Foiling your mind
Keepin' your heart
Prayer divine
(Uh-uh-uh-uh)
(You're so oh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, stupid)
(Sha-da-do-da, ooh-wa-ooh-wa)
(Sha-da-do-da, ooh-wa-ooh-wa)
(Sha-da-do-da, da-da-da)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Draggin' you down
Chippin' away
Misleading you all
With the things they say
Shatters your world
Foiling your mind
Keepin' your heart
Prayer divine
(Sha-da-do-da, ooh-wa-ooh-wa)
(Sha-da-do-da, ooh-wa-ooh-wa)
(Sha-da-do-da, da-da-da)
(Uh-hu, uh-hu)
