Tithes and Trespasses

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
