Lyrics

Some folks say I’m a leech to society
But I’m here to tell you I ain’t
Cuz if there weren't no sinners in this world
Then there wouldn’t be a need for saints
The world needs holy rollers
But there’s room for high rolling too
And if y’all weren’t busy judging me
Well, they’d start judging you
'Cause guys like me
Are job security
For all the saints and preachers of this world
My disordered human will
Keeps the church pews filled
And gives the congregation something to pray for
We’ve all got our callings and positions
But I play my part keepin' churches in business
Who’d be there to shoot out the lights
When the bars are closing down
Who else here could lubricate
This dry Methodist town
My sins make your sins look harmless
And yours make mine look cool
It’s a symbiotic relationship
The Holy and the fool
'Cause guys like me
Are job security
For all the saints and preachers of this world
My disordered human will
Keeps the church pews filled
And gives the congregation something to pray for
We’ve all got our callings and positions
But I play my part keepin' churches in business
Well sometimes the difference 'tween the Holy and profane
Ain’t that great at all
I’m sure you think you’re pure as coke
But I admit I’m I lost
My three-beer buzz and Copenhagen
Won’t keep me outta heaven’s gates
But tell me when’s the last time you repented
For thinking you're better than me
Guys like me
Are job security
For all the saints and preachers of this world
My disordered human will
Keeps the church pews filled
And gives the congregation something to pray for
We’ve all got our callings and positions
But I play my part keepin' churches in business
