Milquetoast

Phony preacher man, your doctrines are soft ... of no eternal value You peddle the pagan fluff, sniffing the prosperity snuff, gambling souls away with your holy bluff False preacher man, how eloquent you boast But your doctrines are milquetoast The doctrines of God are pure: diamond hard like a rock Holy Rock of our salvation, a peculiar people is His holy nation We demand hearing the truth, we will not allow you to feed us lies Dressing it up in disguise, making abominable things appear so nice Phony preacher man, your doctrines are milquetoast soft ... of no redemptive value You never preach against the paradigms of sin, but how could you? You pushed your cow chips to the center, and told the blackjack dealing demon you're all in Selling out souls gives you the cheated win Filthy lucre now stuffs your fat pockets, as you greedily from the pulpit walk away Apparently you never learnt, that all toast gets burnt when God rebukes thee on Judgment day
