The Reverend had his wife done in by a guy I knew in High School

He and a friend should do her in and make it look like a robbery
  Cadd9      G         riff          Cadd9    G      Asus4
"Here's money son, go buy a gun and shoot her in the head
  Cadd9     G      riff           Cadd9     G     Asus4
No one who dies, testifies, make sure that she is dead"

The heathens were paid a thousand bucks to eliminate someone
Plus they were paid five hundred more to get themselves a gun
The guy I knew had a hunting knife, "Why bother with a gun?
She'll still be dead, why sweat details, as long as it gets done"

The Bible said that Jesus bled for the sins of the rest of us
The Reverend has his wife done in for fifteen hundred bucks
They knocked upon the door and said their car broke down
and asked if they could use the phone for a ride back into town

They stabbed her several times and left her there for dead
Bleeding and crying out and gasping for breath
and they went out the very next night and bragged about it
The Reverend came home from work and found the Mrs. dying
