Lyrics

Some folks say I'm a leech to society
But I'm here to tell you I ain't
'Cause 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 rollin' too
And if you all weren't busy judgin' me
Well, they'd start judgin' 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 somethin' 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 closin' down?
Who else here could lubricate
This dry Methodist town?
My sins make yours 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 somethin' to pray for
We've all got our callings and positions
But I play my part keepin' churches in business
Well, sometimes the difference between the holy and profane
Ain't that great at all
Sure, you think you're pure as coke
But I admit that I am lost
My three beer buzz and Copenhagen
Won't get me out of Heaven's gates
But tell me, when's the last time you repented
For thinkin' 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 somethin' to pray for
We've all got our callings and positions
But I play my part keepin' churches in business
