Holier Than Thou (And My New Brand Deal)

(Verse 1)

Walked around, just taking a stride,

Then saw a poster, with nowhere to hide.

"Enlighten Your Life! Gospel Untold!"

A guru on stage, stories sold.

"Unlock your inner Christ!" he'd shout,

Thought that's what my life was about.

(Chorus)

Oh, self-help saints, with your confident gaze,

Spreading "my" word, through a marketing maze.

With power poses, and "mindset" might,

Preaching breakthroughs, day and night.

It's a personal journey, you imply,

But it's about profit, reaching for the sky.

I'm the genuine, the real McCoy,

Drop that life coach spiel, my boy!

(Verse 2)

Saw one with a book, "Ascend to Gold,"

Promises of blessings, perfectly sold.

"Manifest abundance! Destiny near!"

I taught shedding fear, not hoarding it here.

"God wants you happy, healthy, rich," they said,

I preached giving, from a humble bed.

(Chorus)

Oh, self-help saints, with your confident gaze,

Spreading "my" word, through a marketing maze.

With power poses, and "mindset" might,

Preaching breakthroughs, day and night.

It's a personal journey, you imply,

But it's about profit, reaching for the sky.

I'm the genuine, the real McCoy,

Drop that life coach spiel, my boy!

(Bridge)

"Spiritual entrepreneurs," sleek and grand,

Selling enlightenment, throughout the land.

Talk of purpose, finding your "flow,"

I sought compassion, helping seeds to grow.

Not about the branding, or glossy appeal,

But the genuine heart, and what you truly feel.

(Chorus)

Oh, self-help saints, with your confident gaze,

Spreading "my" word, through a marketing maze.

With power poses, and "mindset" might,

Preaching breakthroughs, day and night.

It's a personal journey, you imply,

But it's about profit, reaching for the sky.

I'm the genuine, the real McCoy,

Drop that life coach spiel, my boy!

(Outro)

Next time you're tempted, preach your own fame,

Put my wisdom, under your brand's name,

Remember who's watching, from above,

Less personal gain, and a whole lot more love.

Brand dis-engage!
