Sales Pitch
[Verse 1]
Everyone’s got a hidden agenda, watch 'em push it on you
Everyone’s got a hidden agenda, don’t pretend not to
It’s a battle for your mind and a battle for your pocketbook
They’ll play on your emotions until your heart is hooked
Reel them in, tell them "What’s your intent?"
No, Mister Salesman, you don’t have my confidence
See I’m not sure if I can trust your heart
So don’t feed me your lies disguised in sheep garb
Everyone’s got an agenda, can you tell me what for?
Everyone’s got an agenda, can you tell me what’s yours?
From the liberal media to the conservative core
From politics to the dude trying to play it cool on the dance floor
It's human nature, runs deep and reeks of secrets
No matter how hard you try, no man can keep it
For a time, maybe, but one day you’re gonna have to face it
And when that time comes, you won’t be able to fake it
[Hook]
Left yourself lying in the dark, waiting to be exposed
Catch yourself hiding from your heart and what God only knows
Left yourself lying in the dark, waiting to be exposed
Catch yourself hiding from your heart and what God only knows
(Smile, put on your game face, your death bed awaits
And sure there’s grace, but it’s going to sting a bit
Try to sell it to God and see if He buys your sales pitch)
[Verse 2]
Watch them tell you they’re more than their worth
Watch them take advantage of the church
But then again, stepping stones were meant to be walked on
They’ll leave and come back once the floor boards are gone
And they’re sitting in the basement, pondering energy wastage
Trying to figure out how to make it
Take it to the innocent and manipulate it
Job well done, religion, look what you’ve created
Easily slipping, easily fading away
Easily forgetting why it was that I was made
Easily saying all the right things I need to say
In order to make it easier for myself to get paid
Don’t look at it like this moments of trite bliss
This propaganda is lifeless
Move at the speed of which light is
Fast forward through the time as I write this
Now I might not have been the wisest
But I put my soul into each line, if
Money ain’t the motive, it’s priceless
I followed a trend called timeless
[Hook]
Left yourself lying in the dark, waiting to be exposed
Catch yourself hiding from your heart and what God only knows
Left yourself lying in the dark, waiting to be exposed
Catch yourself hiding from your heart and what God only knows
(Smile, put on your game face, your death bed awaits
And sure there’s grace, but it’s going to sting a bit
Try to sell it to God and see if He buys your sales pitch)
[Bridge]
These folks don’t walk it but they go about it and they talk it
Nowadays, they’ll turn anything into product
Merchandise, name your price, try and turn a profit
Even the sacred's been turned dishonest
These folks don’t walk it but they go about it and they talk it
Nowadays, they’ll turn anything into product
Merchandise, name your price, try and turn a profit
Even the sacred's been turned dishonest
[Hook]
Left yourself lying in the dark, waiting to be exposed
Catch yourself hiding from your heart and what God only knows
Left yourself lying in the dark, waiting to be exposed
Catch yourself hiding from your heart and what God only knows
(Smile, put on your game face, your death bed awaits
And sure there’s grace, but it’s going to sting a bit
Try to sell it to God and see if He buys your sales pitch)
