Little Tin God

A new age is dawning
On fewer than expected
Business is usual
Thats how the headline read
Some shaky modern saviors
Have now been resurrected
In all this excitement
You may have been misled
People want a miracle
They say oh lord  can't you see us
Were tryin to make a livin down here
And keep the children fed
But  from little dark motel rooms
To six flags over jesus
How are the mighty fallen
So the Bible said
You don't have to pray to a little tin god
Step out of the way for a little tin god
You might fear the reaper  you might fear the rod
But you never have to get down on your knees
You don't have to holler  please  please
No  you never have to get down on your knees
For a little tin god
The cowboys name was jingo
And he knew that there was trouble
So in a blaze of glory
He rode out of the west
No one was ever certain
What it was that he was sayin
But they loved it when he told them
They were better than the rest
But you don't have to pray for a little tin god
Step out of the way for a little tin god
You might hate to system  hate the job
But you never have to get down on your knees
You don't have to holler  please  please
No  you never have to get down on your knees
For a little tin god
For a little tin god
For a little tin god
For a little tin god
And lead the flock to water
The man in the middle would have you think
That you have no other choice
But to wander in the wilderness
Of all the upturned faces
If you stop and listen long enough
You will hear your own small voice
But you don't have to pray to a little tin god
Step out of the way for a little tin god
You might fear the reaper  fear the rod
But you never have to get down on your knees
You don't have to holler  please  please
No  you never have to get down on your knees
You don't have to holler  please  please
You never have to get down on your knees
You don't have to holler  please  please
You never have to get down on your knees
For a little tin god
