    Not all televangelists are bad, but the ones that drive their Rolls Royces straight to the bank after the sermon do make one wonder. This song is somewhat in the style of early Tex-Mex influenced Ry Cooder.

    Lyrics
    Prophet's profits
    They're mining our faults
    Rolling down the freeway
    On the way to their vaults
    Prophet's profits
    It's money they crave
    Now I know what they mean
    When they say Jesus saves
    But Jesus never drove no
    Cadillac anyway

    Prophet's profits
    They make it on TV
    Sending prayers through the air
    Self-righteously
    Prophet's profits
    Salvation for sale
    Preacher be so happy if you
    Drop that check in the mail
    But Jesus never drove no
    Cadillac with fancy fin tails

    Well what were you thinking
    Now preacher
    What do you think
    Happens when you die
    Did you think
    You could drive that limo
    To the mansion in the sky
    Nice try

    There was a prophet
    Turned water to wine
    Raised Lazarus from the dead
    To give his people a sign
    There was a prophet
    A shepherd of love
    Layed his life down so that
    We could rise above
    But Jesus never drove no
    Cadillac anyway

    1989 Robert J. Conaway/Gregory Conniff
