The Preacher

from Graphic Nature by BRIAN EATON

/

lyrics

Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher
Vanity of vanities, all is vain
What profit hath a man of all his labor under the sun
One generation passes away and another comes

Then the preacher says to them
You should tell me all your sins
And say a hundred amens
But don’t forget to give your tenth

Seven Sundays since a stroll to the corner
And the man in the long robe cries, all is vain
Did you really think he’d sing another tune for you
Another generation passes away and so do you

Then the preacher says to them
All have fallen short and sinned
Better say a hundred amens
I’ll pray for you a good word I’ll put in

But did you think he cared
Did you think he had the power to save
And did you fall away
Or did you buy the creed of spoon-fed faith
And did you think he’d share
Did you think he’d lead you through the gate
And did you go astray
Or did you buy the creed of spoon-fed faith

And blind guides paralyze
And blind guides their hands full of tithes

Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher
Vanity of vanities, all is vain
What profit hath a man of all his labor under the sun
This generation passes away and now you’re done

And blind guides swallow lies
And blind guides they’re dead inside
