lyrics

Outside the walls of the big white steeple
The faces of all of the misguided people
He left by the curb like a deer caught in headlights
The shock and the horror of the blank stare in their eyes
Garbed in denim and cheaper flannel
He stands in the background of a hand-picked panel
Of sycophants, yesmen and writes his stories
Professing himself like he’s owed all the glory

Who’s kingdom come?
Laws are made and broken
You’re not the chosen one
But they do as they’re told

Standing in front of a cross so he hides it
A leader so crooked, he tries to deny it
His gossip is real so they're left undecided
Concealed by a baby and wife who stand by him
He'll pull you in with the force of a magnet
Pretends he's your friend acting so charismatic
He tempts you with whiskey and deep conversation
His need for control his sole motivation

Who’s kingdom come?
Laws are made and broken
You’re not the chosen one
But they do as they’re told

Share all your secrets convinced you're the Devil
He'll pretend to care like you're on the same level
But he hears what he wants to he manipulates the truth
Don't ask him a question, he'll turn it back on you
Will the smoke clear, the pulpit's on fire
Set ablaze by words of a judgemental liar
Will they ever trust again?

Who’s kingdom come?
Laws are made and broken
You’re not the chosen one
But they do as they’re told

Who’s kingdom come?
Laws are made and broken
You’re not the chosen one
But they do as they’re told
