John Reuben - Sales Pitch lyrics

Everyone’s got a hidden agenda
Watch 'em push it on you
Everyone’s got a hidden agenda
Don’t pretend not to
It’s a battle for your mind and
A battle for your pocketbook
They’ll play on your emotions until
Your heart is hooked
Reel them in, tell them "What’s your intent?"
No, Mister Salesman
You don’t have my confidence
See I’m not sure if I can trust your heart
So don’t feed me your lies
Disguised in sheep garb
Everyone’s got an agenda
Can you tell me what for?
Everyone’s got an agenda
Can you tell me what’s yours?
From the liberal media to
The conservative core
From politics to the dude trying to play


It cool on the dance floor
It's human nature
Runs deep and reeks of secrets
No matter how hard you try
No man can keep it for a time, maybe
But one day you’re gonna have to face it
And when that time comes
You won’t be able to fake it

Left yourself lying in the dark
Waiting to be exposed
Catch yourself hiding from your heart
And what God only knows
Left yourself lying in the dark
Waiting to be exposed
Catch yourself hiding from your heart
And what God only knows
(Smile, put on your game face
Your death bed await's
And sure there’s grace
But it’s going to sting a bit
Try to sell it to God and see
If He buys your sales pitch)

Watch them tell you they’re
More than their worth
Watch them take advantage of the church
But then again
Stepping stones were meant to be walked on
They’ll leave and come back once
The floor boards are gone
And they’re sitting in the basement
Pondering energy wastage
Trying to figure out how to make it
Take it to the innocent and manipulate it
Job well done, religion
Look what you’ve created
Easily slipping, easily fading away
Easily forgetting why it was that I was made
Easily saying all the right things
I need to say in order to make it easier
For myself to get paid
Don’t look at it like this
Moments of trite bliss
This propaganda is lifeless
Move at the speed of which light is
Fast forward through the time as I write this
Now I might not have been the wisest
But, I put my soul into each line, if
Money ain’t the motive, it’s priceless
I followed a trend called timeless

Left yourself lying in the dark
Waiting to be exposed
Catch yourself hiding from your heart
And what God only knows
Left yourself lying in the dark
Waiting to be exposed
Catch yourself hiding from your heart
And what God only knows
(Smile, put on your game face
Your death bed await's
And sure there’s grace
But it’s going to sting a bit
Try to sell it to God and see
If He buys your sales pitch)

These folks don’t walk it but they go
About it and they talk it
Nowadays, they’ll turn anything into product
Merchandise, name your price
Try and turn a profit
Even the sacred's been turned dishonest
These folks don’t walk it but they go
About it and they talk it
Nowadays, they’ll turn anything into product
Merchandise, name your price
Try and turn a profit
Even the sacred's been turned dishonest

Left yourself lying in the dark
Waiting to be exposed
Catch yourself hiding from your heart
And what God only knows
Left yourself lying in the dark
Waiting to be exposed
Catch yourself hiding from your heart
And what God only knows
(Smile, put on your game face
Your death bed await's
And sure there’s grace
But it’s going to sting a bit
Try to sell it to God and see
If He buys your sales pitch)
