Preachers And Thieves Lyrics - Todd Agnew

Janie's an addict but then she feeds her family 

Hank owns a bank but his kids are on the street 

Janie's got a good grip on desperation 

While Hank's getting fat but he doesn't see his need 

As I'm standing here on this stage 

Hanging from a cross that I have made 

What you see is probably deceit 

Only God knows the difference 

The difference between preachers and thieves 

Rosa's the lady in apartment fifteen 

No one knows her name or what language she speaks 

Or that her son is dying alone behind those walls 

Separating their home from the apartments she cleans 

And as I'm standing here on this stage 

Hanging from a cross that I have made 

What you see is probably deceit 

Only God knows the difference 

The difference between preachers and thieves 

Preachers and thieves 

Struggling to stand and fighting to breathe 

One cries to His left and one dies to His right 

One takes his last breath embracing his mockery 

While the other opens his eyes in paradise 

As I'm standing here on this stage 

Hanging from a cross that I have made 

What you see is probably deceit 

Only God knows the difference 

The difference between preachers and thieves
