I know a man, he's one of my friends
 Lately he's been changing his ways
 He's using God as a means to an end
 Going to church on the appropriate days
 He made up his mind when he had two daughters
 Don't want his babies out with boys in the night
 Free thinking girls, like lambs to the slaughter
 Put the fear of god in 'em before puberty strikes  
 He says "I turn my back on modern times
 Now that I've got something to lose
 I'll hold on to anything I can find
 As GOD IS my witness, GOD IS my tool"  
 My brother, he was guilty too
 Way back when he was fairly cool
 In the Vietnam lottery he was bound to lose
 So he got religion in the seminary school
 Avoided the draft on a religious stance
 Then he wasn't even allowed to fight
 Didn't need to move to Nouveau France
 Started telling other people wrong from right  
 He says "I turn my back on modern times
 Now that I've got something to lose
 I'll hold on to anything I can find
 As GOD IS my witness, GOD IS my tool"  
 Down thru history it's been the same
 From Tutankamen to Jimmy Baker
 People using god for personal gain
 The King, the Priest, the healing faker
 Man must believe what he can't understand
 so he gravitates towards words of salvation
 He spreads the words across all lands
 A mission from God, to elevate his station  
 He said "I turn my back on modern times
 Now that I've got something to lose
 I'll hold on to anything I can find
 As GOD IS my witness, GOD IS my tool"
