Song Lyrics

"Guilty By Association"

by Steve Taylor
Album: Now The Truth Can Be Told - Disc 1

So you need a new car'
Let your fingers take a walk through the business guide for the "born again" flock,
You'll be keeping all your money in the kingdom now, and you'll only drink milk from a Christian cow,
Don't you go casting your bread to keep the heathen well-fed,
Line Christian pockets instead; avoid temptation.

Guilty by association.

Turn the radio on to a down-home drawl,
Hear a brylcream prophet with a message for y'all,
"Well, I have found a new utensil in the devil's toolbox, and the heads are gonna roll if Jesus rocks.
It's a worldly design; God's music should be divine...try buying records like mine," Avoid temptation.

Guilty by association.

So you say it's of the devil, and we've got no choice because you heard a revelation from the "still small voice'" (psst, hey you)
If the Bible doesn't back it, then it seems quite clear: perhaps it was the devil who whispered in your ear.

Oh, it's a Telethon Tuesday for "The Gospel Club"
"Send your money in now or they're gonna pull the plug,"
You just remember this fact when they plead and beg: when the chicken squawks loud it's gonna lay a big egg,
You could be smelling a crook,
You should be checking the book, but you...you'd rather listen thank look,
The implication...

Guilty by association.
