Mission Lyrics

The song Mission is performed by King's X in the album named Gretchen Goes to Nebraska in the year 1989 .



Oh broken body, it's joints at war
Religious vipers s*cking royal blood
The price is paid, the final score
The truth exists even through pious mud

Who are these people behind the stained gla*s windows?
Have they forgotten just what they came here for?
Was it salvation or scared of hell
Or an a*sembly of a social get-together?

What's the mission of the Preacher Man?
Some are true, some do lie
What's the mission of the Preacher Man? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

A threat of justice, the lazy judge
The governess teaches his son to scream
Adopted child, true path to trudge
No minor plot to undermine his dream

Who are these people behind the stained gla*s windows ?
Have they forgotten just what they came here for?
Was it salvation or scared of hell
Or an a*sembly of a social get-together?

What's the mission of the Preacher Man?
Some are true, some do lie
What's the mission of the Preacher Man? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Bless God, the more I think about it
The more I think I was preaching the truth
I went down to the Cadillac Agency and one hour later
I drove out a new Cadillac, Hallelujah
Say "Praise the Lord," bless God
I'm gonna drive that Cadillac down here and
Get it dusty and dirty and use it for God
Hallelujah, thank You Jesus

Who are these people behind the stained gla*s windows?
Have they forgotten just what they came here for?
Was it salvation or scared of hell
Or an a*sembly of a social get-together?

What's the mission of Preacher Man?
Some are true, some do lie
What's the mission of the Preacher Man? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Say what's the mission of preacher, the Preacher Man?
Some are true, some do lie
What's the mission of, of the Preacher Man? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
