Tithes and Trespasses
TitanChord
Intro
The bank prays for me in arrears
Verse 1
The deacon learned to fill out a 1040
The pastor learned to read a foreclosure date
The deacon learned the savings rate of patience
The pastor learned to keep the donors straight
Pre-Chorus
The tithe is just a tithe
The tax is just a tax
The Lord don't sign the lien
The Lord don't sign the wax
Chorus
Tithes and trespasses, tithes and trespasses
The teller and the preacher pass the basket
Forgive us our debts and our delinquencies
Tithes and trespasses, in eternity
Verse 2
Bank sent the man in the gray suit
Bank sent the man in the church van
Bank sent the letter with the lily border
Bank sent the lord his collection plan
Pre-Chorus
The tithe is just a tithe
The tax is just a tax
The Lord don't sign the lien
The Lord don't sign the wax
Chorus
Tithes and trespasses, tithes and trespasses
The teller and the preacher pass the basket
Forgive us our debts and our delinquencies
Tithes and trespasses, in eternity
Bridge
Maybe the steeple was always a vault
Maybe the cross was a brand
Maybe the offering was always interest
And the Lord just took His cut in hand
Tithes and trespasses, tithes and trespasses
The teller and the preacher pass the basket
Forgive us our debts and our delinquencies
Tithes and trespasses, in eternity
