In His Presence

So I brought my sinful soul to the house of the Lord
Looking for repentance
But I found the altar tainted by the prophets of Hell
Whose sole desire was the dollar
And to them it was a force deemed almighty
No souls to be saved today
Oh, no souls
Only heaps of money to be gained
After all, was it not Divine Right which dictates
The preacher should afford:
An air - conditioned dog house for Fido's eccentric delight
And expensive manicures for his cat,
Given weekly by Pierre de France
No souls to be saved today
Oh, no souls
Only our desire to rake your money,
And when it hurts the most,
To leave you flat
Most especially when you need the hope.

� 1993 Frank Cadillac
