Altar Ego

Sunday morning showtime
 White-wash suit is pressed
 Kiss your study Bible and say, "I am the best"
 The make up for your character is in your vanity
 With such an act you ought to be an Oscar nomine
 "Hallelus" and "Praise the Lords" are flowin' from your lips
 While telling babes in Christ that you've got God within your grips
 Into chugging milk, you're acting so mature
 But if you ate the meat of Scripture, man, you'd choke on it for sure
 Chorus:
 You've got an altar ego
 The church is your stage
 You've got an altar ego
 Your works are on parade
 Altar ego
 Forget about the Lord
 You've got an altar ego
 You've got your full reward
 Offering's the time when proving piety's a cinch
 Thumbing Andrew Jacksons, so that all can catch a glimpse
 Your right hand tells your left handthe great sacrifice you've made
 But the widow's penny next to you just blew your wad away
 You've got an altar ego
 The church is your stage
 You've got an altar ego
 Your works are on parade
 Altar ego
 Forget about the Lord
 You've got an altar ego
 You've got your full reward
 Your pride has got you on a chain and you've become it's slave
 Lay your ego on the altar or it'll lay you in your grave
 You've got an altar ego
 The church is your stage
 You've got an altar ego
 Your works are on parade
 Altar ego
 Forget about the Lord
 You've got an altar ego
 You've got your full reward
