about

TEX, the newest member of the present day mega-church choir and ALAN, the Chair of the church council, argue about the church's holier-than-thou attitude and Tex sings his reply.

lyrics

You Don't Have a Corner on the Lord

YOU DON’T HAVE A CORNER ON THE LORD, BROTHER
NO YOU DON’T HAVE A CORNER ON THE LORD
WHEN YOU MAKE UP ALL THESE RULES
IT JUST KINDA MAKES HIM BORED
YOU DON’T HAVE A CORNER ON THE LORD

CHRISTIAN YOU’RE CALLED AND CHRISTIAN YOU MAY BE
BUT WHEN THE LORD SAYS “DO UNTO THE LEAST OF THESE”
HE DON’T MEAN THAT MAKES YOU BETTER THAN THEY ARE
CAUSE YOU DON’T HAVE A CORNER ON THE LORD

YOU DON’T HAVE A CORNER ON THE LORD, SISTER
NO, YOU DON’T HAVE A CORNER ON THE LORD
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A MIRACLE
TRY ONE THAT DON’T GET POURED
NAW, YOU DON’T HAVE A CORNER ON THE LORD

PREACHER MAN TELLS YOU HOW TO PRAY AND HOW TO BE
BUT FOR HIM YOUR PAIN LOOKS MORE LIKE JOB SECURITY
WELL NOW HERE’S A CONCEPT YOU’D BEST NOT IGNORE
HE DON’T HAVE A CORNER ON THE LORD

YOU DON’T HAVE A CORNER ON THE LORD, PREACHER
NO, YOU DON’T HAVE A CORNER ON THE LORD
IF GOD HANDED YOU A PLOWSHARE
WHY, YOU’D TRADE IT FOR A SWORD!
YOU DON’T HAVE A CORNER ON THE LORD

YOU DON’T HAVE A CORNER ON THE LORD, BROTHER
YOU DON’T HAVE A CORNER ON THE LORD, SISTER
YOU DON’T HAVE A CORNER ON THE LORD, PREACHER
NO YOU DON’T HAVE A CORNER ON THE LORD.
