Brother, Keep Preaching

Two black soul brothers
Standing on the corner
In front of Metro center
On a Friday night

In the heart of the new evil empire
The center of the beast
Hell Central

Preaching the word of god
The news of the end of the world
The proverbial end times 
Were upon us and coming soon

The commuters, workers and bemused tourists
Walk on by the preacher men
Some pay attention, most walk on by

They did not want to hear 
They did not understand

And the preacher man kept
Preaching the word of god
And no one paid any attention
None at all

God is going to punish us
God is coming soon
To punish the wicked and the evil
And to set things right

God is going to punish the U.S.
For its arrogance, hubris and hypocrisy
For its greed and evil
Disguised as saving the world
From the evil ones

God is coming, oh yeah he is on his way
And boy is he angry at us
At the entire human race

And God, let me tell yah
He ain't the wimpy, wampy pappy 
White boy false god of the New Testament
The false deity that the evil Reverend Farwell 
And the smarmy Pat Robinson worship

Hell no
God ain't that god

God is a mean, angry powerful God
The god of the Old Testament
The god of the Koran and the god of old
The god that man once feared 


Yeah, I am talking about that god
Jehovah, Zeus, Allah and a thousand other names
The god that our ancestors feared
The real deal, and boy is he pissed off

And he is coming to set up straight
And send most of us straight to hell
