Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Spineless from the start, sucked into the part

Circus comes to town, you play the lead clown

Please, please

Brought to your knees, living for his story

Knees, knees

Fall to your knees, suffer for his glory

You will

[Verse 2]

Time for lust, time for lie

Time to kiss your ass goodbye

Send me money, send me green

Heaven you will meet

Make a contribution and you'll get the better seat

Bow to Leper Messiah

[Verse 3]

Marvel at his tricks, need your Sunday fix

Blind devotion came, rotting your brain

Chain, chain

Millions is the game, stinking drunk with power

Fame, fame

Infection is the game, stinking drunk with power

We see

[Verse 4]

Time for lust, time for lie

Time to kiss your ass goodbye

Send me money, send me green

Heaven you will meet

Make a contribution and you'll get the better seat

Bow to Leper Messiah

[Verse 5]

Witchery, weakening

See the sheep are gathering

Set the trap, hypnotize

Now you follow

[Verse 6]

Time for lust, time for lie

Time to kiss your ass goodbye

Send me money, send me green

Heaven you will meet

Make a contribution and you'll get the better seat

[Verse 7]

Lie, lie, lie, lie

Lie, lie, lie, lie
