The Lyrics

"And the Lord will heal you for reading this parody!!!"

Televised Preacher
Preacher
Preacher
Preacher
Dear Eve or Adam will you watch my show
1,000 monks are right, don't you know
It's based on a novel of a guy named God
And I need a job
So I gotta be a Televised Preacher
Televised Preacher
It's a hippie story of a hippie man
I'll tell you his life, as we start to chant
Joe's son is working telling Shepard's tales
It's a boring job
So he wants to be a televised preacher
Televised Preacher

Televised Preacher
Preacher
Preacher
On a thousand channels take a hundred or two
I'll be yelling more after the flu
So you missed the Sabbath I can save you child
If you give me a crown
That's the paycheck of a Televised Preacher
Televised Preacher

If it's lent you skipped it
You should be in fright
Take a million prayers
To keep you up all night
If you want repentance
You can come on here
All your cash I'll take
That's the costly fee of a Televised Preacher
Televised Preacher
(Televised Preacher) Televised Preacher
(Televised Preacher) Televised Preacher
(Televised Preacher) Televised Preacher
(Televised Preacher) Televised Preacher
Televised Preacher

I do no such thing, now send me $555.00 and I'll have the prayer team work a small miracle for you.

I had been praying that someone would do this. You tell it like it is Matt. 5s!

You had me from the first sales pitch. Now where do I send my 555?

Michael Pacholek - April 15, 2005 - Report this comment

That shalt not covet fives, for thou shalt receive them anyway. Though with a name like Matthias, this one would almost seem obvious.

Matthias - June 29, 2005 - Report this comment

For your fives I heal you!!!

(T) Ha - you had me with "It's based on a novel of a guy named God" - great idea, Matthias, and a perfect OS through which to bag those hypocritical idiots and their dumb-ass flock - 555

(ABC) Good one.

Red Ant - December 13, 2005 - Report this comment

(ABCT05) Pacing is off in a few lines enough that I can't give this a 555, but I won't ruin your streak either. Funny stuff.

(T) Cool.

Johnny D - December 21, 2005 - Report this comment

(ABC) Looks like a reading from The Book Of Matthias, Chapter 5, Verse 55.

Kristof Robertson - December 23, 2005 - Report this comment

(ABC) Really, really clever work, Matthias. 555

Dee Range - December 24, 2005 - Report this comment

(T) I agree the pacing could be perfected, but I love the story...I have an original song that I will send you when it is recorded called "The T.V. Evangelical Hall Of Shame" that you will probably like.

Matthias - December 26, 2005 - Report this comment

Alright! Dee, I can't wait to hear it!

Larry - December 26, 2005 - Report this comment

(ABC) So true, good parody.

Arwen - December 27, 2005 - Report this comment

ABC--I also stumbled on pacing a couple of times, but this was pretty funny stuff, Matthias...so, props from me...=)

2nz - December 27, 2005 - Report this comment

Funny stuff, Matthias. What some others said about pacing, but it's not enough to detract from humor in this case.

Jeff Reuben - December 27, 2005 - Report this comment

(T) Think I caught this around 3am last night, well done!
