[Meshell Ndegéocello - GOD.FEAR.MONEY lyrics]
Written by Meshell Ndegeocello
Yeah god shinin' the light
He just turned on the spotlight yo, check it
The devil put you on display
Yeah i say
I used to believe everything I read
Seen on TV i was way down for the revolution
Until I found out it was contingent on some
Corporate sponsorship
And if Jesus was alive today
He'd be incarcerated
With the rest of the brothers while uh
The devil would have a great apartment
On the upper east side be a guest VJ
On total request live god, fear and money
Make the world go 'round and 'round
God, fear and money
I say god, fear and money
Make the world go 'round and 'round
God, fear and money yes you do, lord
I say Mary don't you weep
Mary don't you moan lord have mercy
Come carry me home and my Love
Who up in heaven hallowed by thy name
And if you truly are the shepherd
Why do they want to want to destroy
Slaughter all in your name tell me
God, fear and money
Make the world go 'round and 'round
God, fear and money yes you do
God, fear and money
Make the world go 'round and 'round
God, fear and money god, fear and money
Make the world go 'round and 'round
God, fear and money
Walk the walk if you gonna talk that talk
Politicians god, fear and money
The devil's work is never done god
The devil's work is never done
The devil's work is never done god
The devil's work is never done
The devil's work is never done
Free yourself from the chains ?
The devil's work is never done yeah
God, fear and money
Yeah god shinin' the light
He just turned on the spotlight yo, check it

And if Jesus was alive today
