I Manipulate (Taylor Steve)

Does your soul crave center stage? Have you heard about the latest rage? Read you Bible by lightning flash Get ordained at the thunder crash build a kingdom with a cattle prod Tell the masses it's a message from God Where the innocent congregate I manipulate Take your notebooks, turn with me to the chapter on authority Do you top the chain of command Rule your family with an iron hand I dispense little pills of power From my hideaway ivory tower From the cover of Heaven's gate I manipulate Now it's time to fill in the space Where we talk about a woman's place Do you want to build a happy home? Have you sacrificed a mind of your own? 'Cause a good wife learns to cower Underneath the umbrella of power From the cover of Heaven's gate I manipulate Yes I know that parable That's the story of the prodigal If you question what I'm teaching you You rebel against the Father too If he loved him why'd he let him go? Well, I guess I don't really know But I see it's getting late...
