I Constantly Thank God For Esteban

 

Give us this day our daily dose of faux affliction

Forgive our sins

Forged at the pulpit with forked tongues selling false sermons

‘Cause I am a new wave gospel sharp, and you’ll be thy witness

So gentlemen, if you’re gonna preach

Then for God sakes preach with conviction

 

Strike up the band

Whoa, the conductor is beckoning

Come congregation, and let’s sing it like you mean it

No, don’t you get it don’t you get it? Now don’t you move

 

Strike up the band

Whoa, the conductor is beckoning

Come congregation, and let’s sing it like you mean it

No, don’t you get it don’t you get it? Now don’t you move

 

Just stay where I can see you

Douse the lights

 

We sure are in for a show tonight

 

In this little number, we are graced by two displays of character

We’ve got: the gunslinger extraordinaire, a walking contradiction

And I for one can see no blood

From the hearts and the wrists you allegedly slit

And I for one won’t stand for this

If the scene were a parish, you’d all be condemned

 

Strike up the band

Whoa, the conductor is beckoning

Come congregation, and let’s sing it like you mean it

No, don’t you get it don’t you get it? Now don’t you move

 

Strike up the band

Whoa, the conductor is beckoning

Come congregation, and let’s sing it like you mean it

No, don’t you get it don’t you get it? Now don’t you, don’t you move

 

Just stay where I can see you

Douse the lights

We sure are in for a show tonight

 

Just stay where I can see you

Douse the lights

We sure are in for a show tonight

 

Just stay where I can see you

Douse the lights

 

Strike up the band

Whoa, the conductor is beckoning

Come congregation, and let’s sing it like you mean it

No, don’t you get it, don’t you get it? Now don’t you move

 

Strike up the band

Whoa, the conductor is beckoning

Come congregation, and let’s sing it like you mean it

No, don’t you get it don’t you get it? Now don’t you move

 

Don’t you move

Don’t you move

Strike up the band
