You wear a Sunday suit and tie,
Everybody thinks you're such a guy,
Climbing up the American dream,
Got the whole world on a golden string,
You got the glow, a shiny face,
Respectable man with holy taste,
You got that family pew reserved,
When the hymns are sung your voice is heard,
But late one night you got your plan - you'd be religious on demand.
Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Christian,
It's a mask you wear to hide,
You got a notion God's a potion, and it works most every time,
Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Christian.
Experimented with your eyes just to get a bigger piece of pie,
I really think you do believe, yet you use religion to deceive,
So when it's time for you-know-who you feel the change come over you.
Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Christian,
It's a mask you wear to hide,
You got a notion God's your potion, and it works most every time,
Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Christian,
What is faith?
What is a lie?
Don't you know that, can't you see that God is not your alibi?
Now when the change comes over you there's almost nothing you can do.
Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Christian,
It's a mask you wear to hide,
You got a notion God's your potion, and it works most every time,
Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Christian,
What is faith?
What is a lie?
Don't you know that, can't you see that God is not your alibi?
Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Christian,
It's a mask you wear to hide,
You got a notion God's a potion, and it works most every time,
God is not your alibi,
Is not your alibi,
God is not your alibi,
