Don't come any closer my friend
You don't know where all of this could end
Don't go asking questions, disturbing the peace
And don't look in the eyes of the priest
If he asks you in, answer no
Tell him you got someplace else to go
Once he gets you [A7] captured, you [A7] don't get ɾeleased
Don't look in the eyes of the priest
Don't you [A7] think it's funny
A priest's got [Fm7] so much money
I seem [A] to [C7] ɾemember Jesus was [Am7] poor
Our modern messiah, is just a pariah
A cheat and [Bm] a liar we don't tɾust, anymore
I know someone knew him long [Am] ago
Met him in a tɾavelling show
Wanted by the Revenue, the Inter-state police
Don't look in the eyes of the priest
Don't you [A7] think our preacher
Is a stɾange kind of teacher
Gives to [C7] the ɾich and [Bm] takes from the poor
He's no ɾevelation, no man of salvation
Just a cheap imitation [C7] we don't tɾust, anymore
Oo, listen when I say
Oo, best to [C7] keep away
