The sermon today
And every high-living day
Is all about finding ways
To make the planet pay

To Milton we pray
In Warren we trust
Vanity, gluttony, greed and lust
Vanity, gluttony, greed and lust

Church of the holy dollar
The eucharistic purse
Low priests in slipknot collars
Do miracles in reverse
Do miracles in reverse

To covet is fine
It shows you as our kind
But a mantra most divine is:
"I take what is rightfully mine"

In Warren we trust
To Milton we pray
The colour of money is smokestack grey
The colour of money is smokestack grey

Church of the holy dollar
The eucharistic purse
Low priests in slipknot collars
Do miracles in reverse
Do miracles in reverse
Do miracles in reverse
Do miracles in reverse

Muzak the message by megaphone
To the mass distraction zone
We've got them believing in alchemy
And anything else is blasphemy

Gold magic
Gold magic
Gold magic
Gold magic

Study the ledgers of the sacred text
You will know what happens next
Same as always, rest assured
Fuck the future and fuck the poor
Fuck the future and fuck the poor

Forget the lie about boats and a tide
Grab your fortune and get inside
This ain't rock and roll
This is omnicide
