God's hired hands and the devil bands Oh come let us adore ME
Lord there's danger in this land
You get witch-hunts and wars
When church and state hold hands
Tonight I'm going dancing
With the drag queens and the punks
Big beat deliver me
From this sanctimonious skunk
We're no flaming angels
And he's not heaven sent
How can he speak for the Prince of Peace
When he's hawk-right militant
And he's immaculately tax free
Save me
Tax free
Save me
Tax free
Save me
Tax free
Save me
