Lyrics
Oh, baby
It's hard to get by without affordable faith
It'll keep you in line, honey, that's for sure
I come around, she makes me wait
Her offering's out
She wants more and more and more and more
She comes in through the back door
Spreading her charms out on the floor
Who knows what she's talking about
She leaves me with no way out
Come as you are, leave your sin door ajar
And hold back what you wanted to say, yeah
Saved by your affordable faith, your affordable faith
Your conscience's guide
Saved by her affordable faith, affordable faith
Don't tell me lies
Read me your bible anyway you want
Just keep those hellfire fears in earshot
And line your virtues all up in a row
So you can bend them anyway the wind blows
You better hold on to your second chance
There's time enough to heal up after the bad dance
Who knows what you're talking about
She leaves me in her shadow of doubt
Times can get tough when folks are afraid
And everybody's dying to pray, yeah
Saved by her affordable faith, her affordable faith
Your conscience guide
Saved by her affordable faith, affordable faith
Don't tell no lies, no
Don't tell no lies
Hey, blue boy, where you been
Out messing with your casual sin
I got the big one here in a box
Don't take no wires or no locks
I think you better pull yourself together
I don't care if it takes forever
You know what she's talking about
And she leaves me with no way out
I give up like that agnostic slob who said
Give me a dime so I can buy me a God
Saved by your affordable faith, your affordable faith
Your conscience's guide
Saved by her affordable faith, affordable faith
Don't tell no lies, no
Affordable faith
Affordable faith
