(Intro) The other night... a voice came to me. Turned out it was God. Said: "Ochs, wake up. This is God here, over". I said: "You're putting me on off course Dylan". So he did a few tricks, he moved the bed back and forth. Trembling I asked: "What is it you want, oh Lord?" He said: "Well, frankly Phil... I went down town the other day... saw the greatest story ever told. Couldn't believe it. It's gone too far... something must be done about christianity." Then "woof" in a puff of smoke he disappeared. The next morning I woke up, had a few drinks to realize it was all true. And decided to do something about christianity. But what could I do? Me, a poor humble boy from the sticks. Then I remembered I was a songwriter. A-ha, so I sat down with pen in hand... over my typewriter. And end up writing this next song, which is a hymn about christianity. Actually, an "Anti-Hymn", the first "Anti-Hymn" folks. (chwila grania na instrumencie) That's the melody.
(Refren) Christian cannons have fired at my days With the warning beneath the holy blaze "And bow... to our authority" Say the canons of christianity
(Zwrotka 1) Oh, the children will be sent to schools Minds of clay are molded to the rules "Learn to fear all of eternity" Warn the canons of christianity
(Zwrotka 2) Holy hands will count the money raised Like a king the Lord is richly praised "On a cross... of diamond majesty" Say the canons of christianity
(Zwrotka 3) Missionaries will travel on crusades The word is given, the heathen souls are saved "Conversions, to our morality" Sigh the canons of christianity
(Zwrotka 4) Come the wars, and turn the rules around Defend your soul on the battle ground "And the Lord... will march beside me" Drone the canons of christianity
(Zwrotka 5) Cathedral walls will glitter with their gold And the sermons speak through silver robes "Building castles... amidst the poverty" Say the canons of christianity
(Zwrotka 6) Worship now and wash your sins away Drop the coins, fall to your knees and pray "Cleanse the world of all hypocrisy" Smile the canons of christianity
(Refren) Christian cannons have fired at my days With the warning beneath the holy blaze "And bow... to our authority" Say the canons of christianity... Cry the cannons of christianity
(Outro) Thank you, and God bless you.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
