When life tempts as sometimes will
When you are loathing the conscience chill
And the ways out is kleptomania
Your priestly mind turns to wrestlemania
Think again what you stand for
Lest tea cup storm is what you fall for
Rest, but not quit as sick pessimist
The truth even eludes the sparky realistic
Even when the going’s got tough
Just a bit more is the milk across the rough
Even when justice is all but useful
Look beyond the cloud and say always faithful
