The Preacher and the Slave

Long-haired preachers come out every night 
                                                      
 Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right
                                    But when asked how 'bout something to eat 
                            They will answer in voices so sweet

 You will eat, bye and bye
                                In that glorious land above the sky 
                       Work and pray, live on hay 
                                 You'll get pie in the sky when you die

                                 Till they get all your coin on the drum
