Slipstream Lyrics

Cover art for Slipstream lyrics by Jethro Tull

This song seems to be about trying to ascend in the Church of England. Seems to talk about making money and giving it to the church to gain rank instead of giving it to the people who need it. It's almost saying the church is a pyramid scheme.

God's waiter is your preacher, your priest. The bill is the Tithe, or, a tenth of your earnings minimum. The more you give, the better you are in the Church's eyes.

At least that's what I see.
