He had such good intentionsHigh finance dreamsGonna build the kingdomDoing his gospel thingNow he's learning to talkA real good gameHe knows all the right clichesBut good intentions don't get his quota insideWhen did it start to change?Compromise for the dollar's sake?Chorus:Have you really taken an inside look?Are you hearing what your actions say?Have you really taken an inside look?Do you think that God would do it that way?Now he sits behind a big oak deskAnd he's talking on the phoneSpinning wheels, making dealsJust see how far he's comeHe says he hasn't really changedIt's all for the sake of the dreamJust doing what he has to doThe end justifies the meansCause when push comes to shoveYou better look out for number oneRepeat ChorusOh Lord, don't let us waste our livesTrying to build self-serving dreamsReligious schemesAnd Lord, don't let us fool ourselvesHiding what we really meanHonestyLord, help us see integrity
