I Constantly Thank God For Esteban

by The carpenters

Give us this day our daily dose of faux affliction
Forgive our sins forged at the pulpit with forked tongues selling faux sermons
Because I am a new wave gospel sharp, and you'll be thy witness
So gentlemen, if you're gonna preach, for God sakes preach with conviction!
Strike up the band! Whoa-oh, the conductor is beckoning
Come congregation, and let's sing it like you mean it
No. Don't you get it, don't you get it? Now don't you move
Strike up the band! Whoa-oh, the conductor is beckoning
Come congregation, and let's sing it like you mean it
No. Don't you get it, don't you get it? Now don't you move
Just stay where I can see you. Douse the lights!
We sure are in for a show tonight
In this little number we are graced by two displays of character,
We've got: the gunslinger extraordinaire walking contradictions
And I for one can see no blood from the hearts and the wrists you allegedly slit
And I for one wont stand for this if this scene were a parish you'd all be condemned
Strike up the band! Whoa-ho, the conductor is beckoning
Come congregation, and let's sing it like you mean it
No. Don't you get it, don't you get it? Now don't you move
Strike up the band! Whoa-ho, the conductor is beckoning
Come congregation, and let's sing it like you mean it
No. Don't you get it, don't you get it? Now don't you, don't you move
Just stay where I can see you, douse the lights
We sure are in for a show tonight!
Just stay where I can see you, douse the lights
We sure are in for a show tonight!
Stay where I can see you, douse the lights!
La-ta-tara-tarata, La-ta-tara-tarata, La-ta-tara-tarata.
Strike up the band! Whoa-ho, the conductor is beckoning
Come congregation, and let's sing it like you mean it
No. Don't you get it, don't you get it? Now don't you move
Strike up the band! Whoa-ho, the conductor is beckoning
Come congregation, and let's sing it like you mean it
No. Don't you get it, don't you get it? Now don't you move
Don't you move!
Don't you move!
Strike up the band!
