I passed by
a church today
They were singing
They were hollering
They were praising the lord

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Praise the lord


There were

Signs
In the sky
Armageddon
Was nigh
And the people
Were weeping
All through
The day

Well they
Cried
And they wailed
And they
called
Jesus
Down

The preacher
He danced
The drummer
He rolled
and
The choir
They shouted
Out loud
The congregation
Swayed in the aisle
Rolled their eyes
Fluttered their fingers
And then
Clapped their hands
And spoke in tongues

Sweet jesus
Sweet jesus
Sweet jesus
They called


For the towers have fallen
In flames
At our feet
And the
five pointed star
Has now only four
And the
President has gone
To a hole
In the ground

They clapped
and they
shouted
for the
lord to
come down
and send
his retribution
for the dead
and the
dying

we gotta bomb them
we gotta nuke them
we gotta fry their brains
lord make it safe
for the Christian
again


and the lord
came down
that night
to that church
and said
to his people
in a mighty
loud voice

MAN !

Man

He said

Man !


You had 2000 years
Of praising my name
Reading my book
And following
My way
And never
Not once
Have you
Understood
What it is
that
I've been trying to say

So now
It's your turn
To learn by a lesson
if you survive
And
call me again

May be
Just
May be
I will
Answer
Your call
And next time
Remember
The answer
Is there

Just
Love one another
And all
Will
Be well


Well the church
Became silent
And they opened
The doors
And they all
Shuffled out
With there eyes downcast
And waited
just waited
For the
End
To begin
