Preacher man,
you've got to live the life you preach,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah.
False preachers, false teachers,
you've got to live the life
that you preach.
False teachers, false preachers,
you've got to live the life that you teach.
Get up every day and a
preach you done right
But you never, never lead the life
You're saying one thing
and doing another
You only fooling yourself
You're in the eyes
of the people
Watching the things that you do
Remember the ears of the children
Listening the things that you say
False preachers, false teachers
You've got to live the life that
you preach
Remember what the fathers say
By your work you shall be paid
And who know the right and do it wrong
Shall be put to destruction
Don't you be like the king of Babylon
Who disobeyed and faced tribulation
False preachers, false teachers
You've got to live the
life that you preach
False preachers, false teachers
You've got to live the life
that you teach
Preacher mate,
you've got to live the life you preach
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
All you players of instruments,
singers and DJs
Just said you're here for a purpose
To show the children the way
And not to lead them astray
False preachers, false teachers
You've got to live the
life that you preach
False teachers, false preachers
You've got to live the life that you teach
Get up every day and I'll
preach you the right
But you never, never leave the light
You're saying one thing
and doing another
You only fooling yourself
You're in the eye s of the people
Watching the things that you do
Remember the ears of the children
Listening to the things that you say
Preacher man,
down that road I'm going
False preachers, false teachers
You've got to live the
life that you preach
False teachers, false preachers
You've got to live the life
that you teach
Remember what the Fathers say,
by your work you shall be paid
And who know the right and do it wrong
shall be put to destruction
Don't you be like the King of Babylon,
who disobeyed and faced tribulation
False preachers,
false teachers,
you've got to live the life
that you preach
False teachers, false preachers
You've got to live the life
that you preach
Preacher man, down the road of dwelling
Preacher man,
you've got to live the life that you preach
