TV Crimes Lyrics
Another day on the round about
What do they need
Somebody to love
There's a miracle on the screen
What did they see
Somebody to love
Get your money on the line
There's a check in the mail today
That's what I need
Somebody to love
Gotta buy him a limousine
Somewhere to live
Somewhere to pray
Keeps the wolf outside the door
Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself
But he'll give you more, yeah
Holy ghost
Who's the one who pays the most
Rock the cradle don't you cry
Buy another lullaby
Jack is nimble, Jack is quick
Pick your pocket, turn a trick
Slow and steady, he's got time
To commit another TV crime
TV crime
Back again on the round about
What do they need
Somebody to love
Another miracle on the screen
What did they see
Somebody to love again
Take a look inside the store
Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself
But he gives more
Holy ghost
Who's the one who hurt you most
Rock the cradle when you cry
Scream another lullaby
Jack be nimble, Jack be slick
Take the money, get out quick
Slow and steady, so much time
To commit another
TV Crime, TV Crimes
Televangelism. Easy; a man tries to trick the people into giving him money using religion.
If you're a real Christian, God will save you if you're true to your religion, not for buying stupid trinkets and giving money to a man who claims to be special. That's not what Jesus did.
'Course, that's not to say that Christianity's necessarily right. I just wanted to make sure that I was implying that, because at the moment I'm only catering to people who will believe what I say; I might be wrong, but if Christianity is right, then so am I (that's a big "if", though). I'm sure other religions have other figureheads who take money from the people by tricking them, but I don't know enough about those to offer any advice.
love this song, then again i love almost every Black Sabbath song after Dio became singer
Another song for criticizing TV Evangelists, just like Iron Maiden with "Holy Smoke" and Slayer with "Read between the lies"... Something typicaly american... unbelievable in Europe...
In the words of Sam Kinison's response to televangelism "We know who Jesus is! Get a fuckin' job!"

A high-powered slam at sleazy, money-grubbing TV preachers -- as if I needed another reason to love Sabbath/Dio!
