lyrics

Heard a man say
I know the way
and I could show you
But it’ll cost you
How much can you pay

Now I’m not a gamblin’ gal
But I’d bet that
Somethin’ just ain’t right
Cuz he came to this place three years ago
But still ain’t brought nobody to light
No he still aint shown nobody light

Cuz he’s a false prophet in a rich man’s suit
Some can’t see past the shine
But he’ll keep selling so long as they’re buying
And they keep on paying his price
They keep paying his price
But we all keep paying the price
All keep paying the price
Of this false prophet
Making false prophets

Now I hear his men say
They know the way
And they could show us
But it’ill cost us
And we’ll all have to pay

Now I’m not a gamblin’ gal
But I’d bet that
Something just ain’t right
Cuz every time they come back to this place
They keep on raisin’ their price
but they still ain’t shown nobody light
But they keep on raising the price
Keep on raising the price…

Cuz they’re false prophets in a rich men’s suits
Some can’t see past the shine
But they’ll keep selling so long as we’re buying
And we’ll keep on paying their price
We all keep paying their price
We’ll all keep paying the price
All keep paying the price
Of these false prophets
Making false profits

We all keep paying
We all keep paying
We all keep paying the price
All keep paying
We all keep paying
We all keep paying the price

Of these false prophets
Making false profits

So beware of false prophets
In rich men’s suits
We must look past their shine
Cuz they’ll keep selling
But we can quit buying their shit
And maybe we’ll quit paying the price
Maybe we’ll all quit paying the price
Maybe we’ll all quit paying price
Maybe we’ll quit paying the price
