There's a feeding frenzy in the flock today,
Bm A Bm/G D
The sheep are grazing like they plan to stay.
Bm A
Building up thieir store of treasure,
D G A
Isn't that the way we measure,
F# Bm A Bm/G D
how the Lord has blessed us for following his way.
Bm A Bm/G D
But there's a way that always seems right to a man
Bm A Bm/G D
Get a wife a home, nice cars, a boat, a tan.
Bm A Bm/G D
But in the end it only leads to death,
'cause it never got the spirit's breath.
[chorus]
Stand and preach your prosperity,
while hell makes room for its prize.
It's not that wealth is wrong,
unless it becomes the place you focus your eyes.
There's an anxious man, looking for his fortune.
He thinks he's going to become independant very soon.
He cannot see his own heart,
but still he thinks he's so smart,
because when he has enough he'll start a mission on the moon.
And as his funds acrue he manages his money so well.
He turns away from those in need, so someday he can tell,
those people of the love of God,
those people who can smell a fraud.
But a man of great means came to Jesus saying
"I have kept the commands since my youth, what still do I lack?"
And Jesus said "Give all you have to the poor and follow me;
all the things that you need in truth God will surely not hold back.
Or you can (Repeat Chorus)
All I came to Do

Find me one small token to take away with me tonight;
For a starving man who attends a feast and finds he's lost his appetite.
Look inside the gift I have laid there beside your door;
Or do you think you are too rich to take a gift from one so poor.
There is a choice to be led by the flesh or spirit.
Why should a man preach to one who will not hear it?
[chorus]
All I came to do was talk to you my friend.
But you can think you know my motives and live that way again,
and completely close the door on all the good that I intend;
I love you.
So I plant a seed, and hope it grows to bear fruit without end.
Ezekiel was told by God so long ago,
Even now the people say 'let us go hear the word of the Lord'.
As a song of one who sings and plays well, you are so.
They hear my words but don't do them, nor turn their hearts toward, me
And when these things come to pass they'll know a prophet told them.
When they lie there cold and still, how will you console them?
(chorus)
(dialogue in intro)
child: "Mother there's a man over there with a cart of goodies...delightful yummies..can I have some mother? Can I?"
mother: "You don't just go up to a perfect stranger and start begging! Now mind your manners and let's talk to the man and find out if he's proper first!"

Youre' an old hand, Newt Gingrich, who remembers what you've done?
From land grabs to debt ceiling, you're votes are so revealing
Mr. Gingrich, I wouldn't trust you to run a lemonaide stand even if it were economically feaseable
after the 400 dollar permit and possible fines from the FDA"
You're a globalist Newt Gingrich, You're into everything we fear.
First fairness doctrine and then NAFTA, and GATT and abortion right after
Mr. Gingrich, I wonder if you might not do more than play pinochle when you meet with those foreign officials and profiteers.
You're a sly one, Newt Gingrich, You sell access to yourself
you profit from position, might I make this inquisition
Mr. Gingrich, do you think you could possibly break this life long habit of capitalizing on everything in your grasp
if you give you the keys to the store?
You've been so swell, Newt Gingrich, left your wife when she was ill
You said she's not good lookin' 'nuf for plans that you've got cookin'
Mr. Gingrich, I sum you up in three little words and they are not necessarily in order of priority
SKIM, SCAM, SCUM,
(Look at the nice man mother..he's..changing right before our eyes)
Are you a changed one, Newt Gingrich? I hear words that sound so pure
I hear you got religion, but I have got this vision
Mr. Gingrich, I think a leopard can change it's spots more easily than you can change once you're that far over the top.
Washing your Windows (C)2011 Robert Weigel A.R.R.
I was tryin' to find a job where I could, interact with the masses
Didn't want to have to learn a bunch of stuff or, take a lot of classes
I saw the ad and saw myself getting some good exposure
Filled out the ap and handed it in and felt a sense of closure
And now I'm wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa WA WA WA WA washing your windows
Got my self a puppy dog who takes care of my need for friendship
On my affairs I kinda like to keep a fairly tight grip
I once knew a girl I thought could be man's best friend
Instead it seems she was tryin' to figure how far I would bend
So now I'm, wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa washing your windows
I'm, wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa washing your windows, washing your windows
with my squeegee and hose.
