The Empire of the Ministry Industry

from Empires by Wen Reagan

/

lyrics

Sell it all, sell it fast
soak it in, it won't last
Flatter me with placid words,
shower me with the absurd
Now ministry is an industry
made of partial truth chemistry
founded on marketability
we try to buy and sell what is free
Sing a song, sing it well
make it big, preach to sell
See in terms of economy,
supply and demand of theology
Here I am, I'm the worst of all
I sing these words and still I fall
I seek a penny, seek a dime
for singing you this song
entrenched by the fear
that is woven in, that is woven in
Now ministry is an industry
made of partial truth chemistry
founded on marketability
we try to buy and sell what is free
we try to buy and sell what is free
I try to buy and sell what is free
