MONEY-SUCKIN’ PREACHER <\/p>\n

He had the looks and he had the style,
\nA money-suckin’ preacher on the TV dial.
\nHe sounded so suave, he gave you a grin,
\nYou wrote out a cheque, you sent it in.<\/p>\n

He doesn’t really care about your soul,
\nAll he really wants is to fill his bowl.
\nThat lying wolf loves suckers like you,
\nHe’ll ask for more till you’re in a stew.<\/p>\n

You will lose your house and your car,
\nKeep givin’ to him and you won’t get far.
\nSo turn off the telly, send him no more,
\nIf he comes knockin’, don’t open the door.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
