Verse:
Well, now a Ccouple hours passed and I was D#sitting in my house
The day was Fwinding down and coming to an D#end A#
So I Cturned to the TV and flipped it D#over to the news
And what I Fsaw I almost couldn’t compreD#hend A#
I saw a Cpreacher man in cuffs, He’d taken D#money from the church
He’d stuffed his Fbank account with righteous dollar D#bills A#
But even Cstill I can’t say much, because I kD#now we’re all the same
Oh, yes we Fall seek out to satisfy those D#thrills A#

Though you Cknow we wish we couldD# F
Oh, no, there Cain’t no rest for the wickD#ed F
Until we Cclose our eyes for good
