Odd Thomas - Television Evangelist [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
"How many of you just like to see miracles? Of course you do. That's imbranded into human nature. We've been playing the charismatic game and there's no power. I wanna see the power!
You don't have to talk about it when you see it! Today, we talk more about power than producing the power
I want you to get ready tonight for one of the greatest demonstrations of God's Holy Spirit power, Are you ready?"

[Hook]
I'm your television evangelist
We comin' through your idiot box
More crooked than L.A. cops
I'm your television evangelist
We looking fresh up on your screen
Armani suits and gold rings
I'm your television evangelist
I wave my coat in the air
With tattooed lips and pink hair
I'm your television evangelist
I get paid for fake tears
Deviously scamming' em for years

[Verse 1]
It's a billion dollar industry, a spiritual conspiracy
The pickpocket plan for the promised land, a Catholic simile
A representation of crooked Christian revelations
So called prophets profit on non-profit organizations
Church catastrophe, blasphemy
Sheep getting seduced by the serpent's seductive flattery
Attracted to the peaceful picture that pumps in your coaxial cable
Misconception of direction and notion of bein' more stable
Donation for a blessing? Start second guessing
If you don't know the answers, then ask the questions
Learn for yourself, develop and understand
If it's God's plan for wind to fall from the breath of a physical man
[?] from a flashin'
Wine glasses filled with deadly sips
14 karat gold [?] wigs and tattooed lips
Lusting for the loot, using life as a gimmick
Mimicking TBN to exploit the children of the eminent
It's capital gain and a righteous [?]
And I might just aim these lyrics to point the blame
Pass points to fan the flame
Alms for the fame, gold for the blood stain
Mastercard to break the chains, offering plate for the pain
I'm alert to the Trinity Broadcast Network
And how they flirt with emotions to get finances from all these new converts
They don't love 'em, that's why they take advantage of them
They pimping sheep using guilt as a means to govern them
You just a Benny Hinn heretic
Trying convict to get chips
They tryin'a get rich off the sick
It's monetary gain derived from mind control
"Give a donation of 20 dollars, and I'll pray for your soul"

[Hook]
