Stand By Your Man: Riding Cloak Tails to Hell

Falwell would be proud
Bakker would be smiling loud
Haggard wearing a Teddy every man's shroud

Black crows falling from the sky
Grown women falling to their knees to cry
Scars will live on and controversy will die

Stand by your man
Billboard on the church van
Help him of sickness if any ordained can

Dead fish washing up on the shore
God is shamed and sickened even more than before
In the capacity of a man of the cloth what was it that day he wore

To sell a book
Or maybe two will buy a look
A dirty secret and blackmail is all it took stand by your man
