Lyrics

He stood outside the house of god
With a bible upside down
Smiling through a tear gas cloud
As the cameras panned the crowd

Says he’s chosen, says he’s just
But his empire runs on greed and dust
Faith for sale in neon lights
Signed in sharpie, sold by night

Oh, the gospel according to grift
Where the halo hides the con and the fist
Preaching fear while taking more
From the poor and the praised and the holy war

He ain’t walking on water, just blood and gold
Wrapped in verses he never wrote
Saying pray, obey, and fold
While he laughs in the shadows and pockets your soul

Bone spurs kept him far from fight
But he’ll send your kids off overnight
Says he's brave with his spray tan shine
But hides behind a pulpit line

A throne of lies, a throne of rage.
A temple built from clickbait praise
He quotes the book but skips the page
Where love was more than hate in chains

Yeah, the gospel according to grift
Where the crown is fake and the creed is a myth
He talks in tongues of wrath and flame
While the truth gets dragged through mud and shame

He ain’t saving souls, he’s selling fear
To keep the faithful trapped right here
Sayin’ bow, believe, and cheer
While he feasts on the pain and calls it sincere

He kissed the cross, then raised a sword
Blessed the bombs, and praised the hoard
He bragged and barked and built a brand
On broken backs and bloodied hands
But the curtain's torn, the stage is cracked
And all that’s holy won’t come back
Till we name the lie and break the pact
The prophet’s just a cheap hijacked act

It’s the gospel according to grift
Where the anthem burns and the soul gets stiffed
He’ll sell you heaven, steal your ground
And blame the devil when truth comes 'round

He ain’t divine, just dressed in spin
With a golden calf and a plastic grin
But we see through the stained-glass sin
And the reckoning’s coming, let it begin.
