Preacher - The Preacher Lyrics

I am the preacher
This is an insurrection
You think you can handle this
Alright, let's go

Oh, yeah
I, I never asked for this
I, I never wanted this
But when I lie in my bed
Can't get it out of my head
I never asked for this

They, they got me right from birth
They, they taught me right from birth
Not to care about you
Or give a shit what you do
They got me right from birth

Oh, then like a slug to the chest
It went straight through my vest
Man, it blew up my heart
Yeah, it tore me apart
Now I am the preacher

I never asked for this

You, you tore me up inside
You started a war inside
Filled me up with the rage
All the suffering and pain
You tore me up inside

I, I took this to your kings
I, I did not learn a thing
Except to market and sell
And to threatened the hell
I took this to your kings

Oh, now I'm standing alone
Yeah, I'll go it alone
I guess I just didn't fit
Oh, now here comes the new shit
I am the preacher

Now God isn't dead
But religion is dead
It doesn't mean much to me
Doesn't mean anything
But God isn't dead

Oh, now this is my church
These are my people
This is my heart
This is my temple
This is my church
And I am the preacher

Oh, hell
Go

Amen
