| | | Artist: | Phil Ochs |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Cannons of Christianity | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 56 | | | | Lyrics: | A D
Christian cannons have fired at my days
D
A
With the warning beneath the holy blaze
Bm G
And bow to our
authority
C D
Say the cannons of Christianity
Oh the
children will be sent to schools
Minds of clay are molded to their rules
Learn to fear all
of eternity
Warn the cannons of Christianity
Holy hands will count the money
raised
Like a king the Lord is richly praised
On a cross of diamond majesty
Say the
cannons of Christianity
Missionaries will travel on crusades
The word is given, the
heathen souls are saved
Conversions to our morality
Sigh the cannons of
Christianity
Come the wars and turn the rules around
To bend your soul on the battle
ground
And the Lord will march beside me
Drone the cannons of
Christianity
Cathedral walls will glitter with their gold
And the sermons speak through
silver robes
Building castles amidst the poverty
Say the cannons of
Christianity
Worship now and wash your sins away
Drop the coins, fall to your knees and
pray
Cleanse the world of all hypocrisy
Smile the cannons of Christianity
Christian
cannons have fired at my days
With the warning beneath the holy blaze
And bow to our
authority
