The cashier made a big mistake and gave her too much change She quickly tucked it in her purse and didn't think it strange Her husband, so competitive, played hard at his game But changed the points so he could win and didn't feel the shame
This couple never kneels to pray Their Bible's neatly tucked away They chose to compromise today But, Sunday they're in church
She taught the kids just what to say when certain people call They tell them that their mom's away when she's just down the hall He takes the form 1040A and fills it out himself Creatively adjusting things to increase his net wealth
Fraudulent dishonesty No accountability The kids know who they want to be On Sunday, they're in church
In church, on Sunday, the are seen Children seated in between They think their weekly slate's wiped cleaned Sunday, they're in church
She took a colleague from her staff into her marriage bed They were having so much fun they missed a common thread They swore to keep their secret, and never ever tell, but The lover in her husband's bed had slept with him as well
Aimless lives out of control Thickening callous on the soul Guilt will come and take its toll Still, Sunday they're in church
In church, on Sunday, they are seen Children seated in between They think their weekly slate's wiped clean Sunday, they're in church
