New Pharisees(Steel Witness Album Version) - Charlie Daniels

New Pharisees (Steel Witness Album Version) - Charlie Daniels
They go walking into church every Sunday morning
They the self-appointed sin patrol
Well they whisper
And they gossip there behind the back
Of anybody that they can't control
See that girl in the choir
She's got evil desires
She must be drinking from the devil's well
She's a downright disgrace
With that paint on her face
She looks just like a Jezebel
And they're running around
Putting everybody down
What are you trying to do
You need to pick up the Book
And take another look
'Cause brother I've got the news for you
You know Jesus was sent with a new covenant
And he even died for you
New pharisees
New pharisees
Like a fatal disease
Like a fatal disease
Always flapping your jaws
Flapping your jaws
Trying to live by the law
You see that boy over there
With that long shaggy hair
Ought to be ashamed of his self
He wearing hip-hop clothes got a ring in his nose
Don't he know he going straight to hell
And then yesterday morning me
And sister Johnson
Were talkin' on the party line
She said that Deacon Brown
Was having dinner downtown
Somebody seen him with a glass of wine
And you act so righteous and you look so pious
You always pay your tithe
But there's a rock in your heart
And a fire on your tongue
And there ain't no love in your eyes
Bad news is begotten and the devil is smiling
You gossip and you criticize
New pharisees
New pharisees
Like a fatal disease
Like a fatal disease
Always flapping your jaws
Flapping your jaws
Trying to live by the law
Trying to live by the law
Well you can't get by the law
You can't get by the law
So quit flapping your jaws
Flapping your jaws
New pharisees New pharisees
Yes you're a lot like me
