Money for Preachin’
(To the tune of: Money for Nothin’ by Dire Straits)
Lyrics (c) 2002 by Jack Helser

"I want my … I want my own I.C.

Now look at them preachers that's the way ya do it
Ya shame them sinners at your own I.C.
That ain't working that's the way you do it
Money for preachin' and a rectory
Now that ain’t workin that’s the way you do it
Lemme tell you them priests ain’t dumb
Maybe get the hiccups from a communion wafer
Maybe get a blister on your knee

[BRIDGE]
He got yo' sin all white-washed and covered
Anointin’ lotions, tapes and CDs
He got to move those religious notions
He got to move those rosary beads

The little padre in the black robe and a beanie
He'll fix your sin up for a modest fee
Even if you're stuck there down in purgatory
For 50 bucks the priest can set you free

[BRIDGE]

I shoulda went to a seminary
I'd coulda had that fancy cross
Look at that - what's that - he's got a silver wine glass
Yeah - he's a "man of the cloth".
And he’s up there - what’s that? Must be cryin’ noises
He's beggin' for money in his homily
Oh, that ain't working' that's the way you do it
Get your money for preachin' and a rectory

[BRIDGE]

Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
You shame them sinners at your own I.C.
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for preachin' and rectory
Money for preachin' and rectory
Gets you money for preachin' and a rectory
I want my, I want my, I want own I.C.
