Son of the Preacher

from Rock Mass Rodeo by The Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

I’m the son of the Preacher, I go to the Grammar School
Collect my Speech Night prizes I understand the rules
When I can’t fake my tests, I pretend I don’t care
Leave me to my devices/when the shame’s too much to bear

CHORUS
God has faith in me, hark the tolling bells
I choose my own path like Hell I even care
God has faith in me, he lets me run free
I won’t be forgivin’ him; he won’t b forgivin’ me

I’m the son of the Preacher, no one dares to blame
I unlock the vestry, steal the collection plate
With whiskey and a bag of weed I guess we got so fresh
Leave me to my devices and we/fuck on the altar steps

CHORUS

I’m the son of the Preacher, I ran away from home
Parish is undisturbed nobody noticed me gone
I stand up in the pulpit, see what I get away with
Leave me to my devices/I scream out for Satan
