Send Me Your Money Lyrics
lights, camera, silence on the set tape rolling, 3-2-1 action welcome to the church of suicidal we'll have a sermon and a wonderful recital but before we go on there's something i must mention an important message i must bring to your attention i was in meditation and prayer last night i was awakened by a shining bright light overhead a glorious spirit, he gave me a message and you all need to hear it "send me your money," that's what he said he said to "send me your money" now if you can only send a dollar or two there ain't a hell of a lot i can do for you but if you want to see heaven's door make out a check for five hundred or more "send me your money," do you hear what i said? "send me your money" now give me some bass, um yea that's how he likes it now give me some silence, for all you sinners now give me some bass, yea that was funky now take them on home brother clark, send me your money here comes another con hiding behind a collar his only god is the almighty dollar he ain't no prophet, he ain't healer he's just a two bit goddamn money stealer send me your money send it, you got to send it send me your money you hear what i'm saying? send it, send it send me your money how much you give is your own choice but to me it is the difference between a porsche and a rolls royce i want you to make it hurt when you dig into your pocket cause it makes me feel so good to watch my profits rocket send me your money now dig in deep, dig real deep into your pocket i want you to make it hurt! we'll take cash, we'll take checks we'll take credit cards, we'll take jewelry we'll take your momma's dentures if they got gold in them so whose gonna be the next king of the fakers whose gonna take the place of jim and tammy faye bakker? see my momma, she didn't raise no fool youse you can't put a price on a miricle amen

Shit, I love this one. Exactly how I feel about preachers and religious bullshitters. "To hear my bullshit, send your dollar." And really, that's all it's about.. a petty marketing technique. Trujillo kicks on this.
Oh is this where you got your signature from a while ago Lat?
The song is attacking people who target others by using God and religion to get them money. It can also be viewed at anti Scientology, for they charge people to go to their church and often swindle and manipulate weak minded people into donating money to them.
It's more of a play on televangelists (much like Slayer's "Jesus Saves"). While it's true this song came out around the same time Scientology was taking off, it was also shortly after Swaggart and Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker were found to be total fakes (hence near the end of the song). My parents even thought it was funny when they heard me listening to it (they're almost 60 now).
At my age, I lived through the 80s satanic panic, the p.m.r.c., and the televangelist scandals of the time and let me tell you, I laughed my ass off when Jim Baker, Jimmy Swaggart and a few others got busted, don't accuse us metalheads of a damn thing when you can't keep your dicks out of the first whore you see
