Now look at them preachers, that's the way you do it
You preach your sermon there on channel three.
They're just workin' their hands into your pockets
"Money for nothing? You think Heaven's free?"
Now that ain't tithin', not the way God wants it.
Lemme tell ya them guys are hogs,
Spend all your cash on very fancy living,
air conditioned houses for their dogs.
When God told us to "please give freely,"
He thought we would use some common sense.
He doesn't need more wealthy preachers
Who always seem to straddle the fence.
"Saving souls is costin' us money,
so send another check today."
"Listen friends, if you want to get to heaven,
then you are really gonna have to pay."
When God told us to "please give freely,"
He thought we would use some common sense.
He doesn't need more wealthy preachers
Who always seem to straddle the fence.

I shoulda' learned to get up early
I shoulda' got myself to church
Look at that preacher, struttin' for the camera
Makes me want to channel surf.
Really saying nothing, just a bunch of noises.
He's bangin' on the Bible like a chimpanzee.
Oh that ain't preaching, that's just entertainment,
money for nothing that is heavenly.
When God told us to "please give freely,"
He thought we would use some common sense.
He doesn't need more wealthy preachers
Who always seem to straddle the fence.
Listen here,
Now that's just beggin' that's the way I see it
asking for money there on channel three.
Airtime is expensive, no doubt about it,
Maybe they can do it more efficiently?
(It's) Money for nothing, ('cause) heaven's free.
[repeat over and over]
Preachers on, preachers on, preachers on the TV
[repeat over and over]
