New Pharisees Lyrics - Charlie Daniels Band

They go walking into church every Sunday morning 

They the self-appointed sin patrol 

Well they whisper and they gossip behind the back 

Of anybody that they can't control 

See that girl in the choir she's got evil desires 

She must be drinking from the devil's well 

She's a downright disgrace with that paint on her face 

She looks just like a Jezebel 

And they're running around putting everybody down 

What are you trying to do 

You need to pick up the Book and take another look 

Cause brother I've got the news for you 

You know Jesus was sent with a new covenant and he even died for you 

New pharisees like a fatal disease 

Always flapping your jaws trying to live by the law 

You see that boy over there with that long shaggy hair 

Ought to be ashamed of hisself 

He wearing hip-hop clothes got a ring in his nose 

Don't he know he going straight to hell 

And then yesterday morning me and sister Johnson 

Were talkin' on the party line 

She said that Deacon Brown was having dinner downtown 

Somebody seen him with a glass of wine
