[Intro]
[CHORUS]
Salvation is earned
So drop your tokens in the plate
Don’t want your exaltation burned
Don’t want to lose by being late
[VERSE]
We’re selling heaven on earth
Forever families, premortal births
Laws of chastity we don’t keep
By the time you wake up
You’ll be choking on your cup
As long as it isn’t coffee or tea
It isn’t that deep.
[CHORUS]
Salvation is earned
So drop your tokens in the plate
Don’t want your exaltation burned
Don’t want to lose by being late.
[BRIDGE}
Everything is by common consent
All votes are unanimous
So get bent (bent)
We’ve got glued on smiles
Every Sunday morning
Warning: We’re restoring Zion’s way,
Sabbath on the wrong day.
[CHORUS]
Salvation is earned
So drop your tokens in the plate
Don’t want your exaltation burned
Don’t want to lose by being late
[VERSE]
Follow the prophet, he’s got the keys
He’ll unlock any doors for a price (isn’t that so nice)
Follow the prophet, he’s appointed to lead
He’ll know everything we need.
We’re building Zion’s kingdom, a tenth at a time
Fast offerings, temple recommends and everything we can offer
One day we’ll be gods and followers will be filling our coffers!
[CHORUS]
Salvation is earned
So drop your tokens in the plate
Don’t want your exaltation burned
Don’t want to lose by being late
[VERSE]
Signs and tokens
Sealings unbroken
The dead baptize the dead
Don’t think about it too much
You’ll only hurt your little head
Let your ears lie to your heart for the Lord
It’s a small price to pay if you’re going to play
A game that seems so odd
We’re all gonna be gods!
[CHORUS]
Salvation is earned
So drop your tokens in the plate
Don’t want your exaltation burned
Don’t want to lose by being late
It’s a Sunday morning Sabbath, and it’s so great
Even though it’s always a day late.
