lyrics

I'm gonna climb the highest mountain in New York state
Just to claim that I have found a brand new way
To live my life so freely with transcriptions passed down from god
And you will know my name a

I'm gonna revelate and sing you his praise
I'm gonna detail new commandments of the blessed source's way
Of Jesus, and Mary, and Joseph, and that holy dove
And I will save all ye sinners with my oh so faithful love

I am the prophet Jackson I'm a servant of god
Your loving protector your one way ticket to the kingdom above
And don't believe me when I say I can give you all you want
There's just a small price to get to them pearly gates above

I was raised in the garden of Eden yes my will was bred so strong
Resisted temptation that apple still hangs where it belongs
And Eve, and Adam, and Joseph Smith, and Moses too
Were my family and my family begat to you

I am the prophet Jackson I'm a servant of god
Your loving protector your one way ticket to the kingdom above
And don't believe me when I say I can give you all you want
There's just a small fee to get to them pearly gates above

Believe in me yes repent for all your sins you wretched souls
Give me your charity, donations, and penance, and all you owe
I am righteous, I am godly, I'm the newfound savior of all
And if you claim me false well I'll cast the very first stone

I am the prophet Jackson I'm a lying crooked fraud
Making a profit oh off your faith in the lord
And believe me when I say I'm gonna take everything that I want
It's just a small fee to get right into the pocket of the lord

I am the prophet Jackson I'm a servant of god
Your loving protector your one way ticket to the kingdom above
And don't believe me when I say I can give you all you want
There's just a small price to get to them pearly gates above
Just a small fee to get to them pearly gates
Just a small price to get to them pearly gates above

(Alright!)
