Practicing Preachers

lyrics

Practicing Preachers

Pastor DeVol was a practicing preacher
Till he got his groove on with a married school teacher
They'd do it all night long, come Sunday morning his gall was strong
He'd preach to the people how lustful hearts were beating all wrong
Yeah, they were beating all right

Officer Don was a cop on the beat,
he swore to take the criminals off of the streets
And he hung out with the high school punks
Sayin' you got to stay away from that junk
But they didn't know Donny kept a kilo of it in his trunk
Yeah, he didn't like to get drunk

Practicing Preachers are always distant and few
It's always the guy you thought knew
Who winds up with his mugshot, on the evening news
Leaving you to sing the blues
Sayin' no, this can't be true

Congressman Jones took the Christian right stand
To save D.C. from the devil that was his only plan
But it was his own demons his sought,
He was blinded by the power he sought
He didn't know how easy, how easy it was to be bought
Yeah, anyone can be bought

Practicing Preachers are always distant and few
It's always the guy you thought knew
Who winds up with his mugshot, on the evening news
Leaving you to sing the blues
Sayin' no, this can't be true
