Woke up this morning on the wrong side of the tracks. Left out leaving for all the right reasons and all the wrong facts. Caught a ride with a traveling preacher in a beat up van. Said he was on his way to heaven, but he had to stop in the promise land. Said he left before he got caught robbing Peter to pay Paul. I told him I just left Peter in a bar room he was trying to call the law. Passed a church with a sign outside said they was "World Shakers". He said, "There ain't nothing in there but fakers and takers." (chorus) They've replaced prophets for profits that they hold so dear. With motivational speakers and cons to tickle their ears. While the fools in the pews watch their sons their so called better halves. Dance naked in the wilderness in front of golden calves. (chorus) (vox bridge) Then he started talking about a dude named Daniel in some lion's den. Said he got lucky cause the King called Daniel his friend. He went into the future and seen some writing on the wall. It was in a confessional on some filthy bathroom stall. Then he said something I'll never remember or understand. About Daniel and John the Beloved the revelating man. (chorus) He said, "Great Babylon is going to fall, just take a look around. Anything that can be shaking will be shaking, you better get to higher ground." Sodom and Gomorrah ain't got nothing on this place. The end is around the corner, that's the facts you gotta face. Don't look to D.C. or to Hollywood they got caught with their pants down. They been preaching for years to the masses now you don't hear a sound. (chorus) The churches have been telling us when the horn blows they'll be watching from the stands. But they might be in the thick when the tribulation hits the fan. Then he lit a cigarette and looked at me. And said, "Son I'm just telling you the truth so you'll be set free." I started feeling funny and told him you can let me off here. I ain't been to Sunday school in a whole lotta years. (chorus) (switch) He handed me a Bible and said, "You ain't gonna find any peace above the ground. Wake up and close your eyes for the Kingdom is at hand and all around." Told me to take the word and hide it in my heart. Cause there is a beast in this world and wants to tear you apart. Said take that bread that's in your hand, eat it and later you'll understand. So when I got back home, I did just what that hippie preacher said. That book didn't taste real good, but I sure felt fed. (chorus)
