Steve Taylor - Guilty by Association Lyrics

Guilty By Association

So you need a new car? let your fingers take a walk
Through the business guide for the "born again" flock
You'll be keeping all your money in the kingdom now
And you'll only drink milk from a Christian cow
Don't you go casting your bread to keep the heathen well-fed
Line Christian pockets instead--avoid temptation

Guilty by association

Turn the radio on to a down-home drawl
Hear a brylcream prophet with a message for y'all
"I have found a new utensil in the devil's toolbox
And the heads are gonna roll if Jesus rocks
It's a worldly design! God's music should be divine!
Try buying records like mine--avoid temptation"

Guilty by association

So you say it's of the devil and we've got no choice
Because you heard a revelation from the "still small voice?"
If the Bible doesn't back it then it seems quite clear
Perhaps it was the devil who whispered in your ear

It's a Telethon Tuesday for "The Gospel Club"
"send your money in now or they're gonna pull the plug!"
Just remember this fact when they plead and beg
When The Chicken Squawks Loudest Gonna Lay A Big Egg
You could be smelling a crook
You should be checking The Book
But you'd rather listen thank look--the implication

Guilty by association
