Now I've been watchin’ TV each and every day
Jerry Farwell and PTL, I heard everything they say
But most of all I must admit the thing I notice most
Is them $1,500 suits, here's to the Holy Ghost

I guess I'll play for Jesus, I hear it pays real well.
And as an added extra I won't have to go to hell,
Like all you crummy heathens gonna’ someday have to do,
Yes I guess I'll play for Jesus, that's what I'm gonna’ do

Well many years have gone by since I picked up this guitar
Still ain't got no money, I drive a stolen car
They kicked me out of IBM, and I sure thank God for that,
‘cause there's money to be made when they pass that holy hat.

Yes, instead of paying dues, a good time could be had
I'd put on such a show, fear and guilt would flow like mad!
I'd fill em' full of terror, just enough to make em' pay
Oh I've finally seen the light my son oh happy, happy day!
