Three Cities - Overturning Tables lyrics

[Verse 1] Take my hand she said Let me guide you through your struggle A dollar here will save your soul One more will ease your troubles Tell me which do you desire A life of gold or burning in the fire Give your money up to him The only way to wash your sin [Chorus] Fall victim to persuasion, by a devil in disguise Throwing wishes in the waters that we use to baptize Manipulating others through the things that they most fear But I'm sitting here and I'm overturning tables in my head Overturning tables in my head Overturning tables [Verse 2 ] Three easy installments Brings you eternal salvation To intimidate through faith-based scares It's exploitative taxation The shakedown starts with you and me The ones who seek sanctuary Give your money up to him The only way to wash your sin [Chorus] Fall victim to persuasion, by a devil in disguise Throwing wishes in the waters that we use to baptize Manipulating others through the things that they most fear But I'm sitting here and I'm overturning tables in my head Overturning tables in my head Overturning tables [Outro] More money, more power Nobody will counter Put your cards out on the table You want to fight it but you're just not able to Speak up once you'll be shunned for life And that's how it's done That's how it's done so fall in line
