Antipope

Damned · Machine Gun Etiquette [1979]

I'm going back to church tonight

Just like back when I was eight

But I don't mean to pray

I'm gonna nick the collection plate



I've got nothing against church

Only people who go there

and show they're

Plain ignorant and don't understand

a congregation at weekends won't change their behaviour

So many people are weak enough to have

to seek answers from the peddlers of hope

I should know

I had to go there myself

Not since the day I became antipope



Theres gonna be some fun tonight

Spead the news around the town

That the vicar's a transvestite

With a fetish for robes and gowns



I've got nothing against church

Only people who go there

and show they're

Plain ignorant and don't understand

a congregation at weekends won't change their behaviour

So many people are weak enough to have

to seek answers from the peddlers of hope

I should know

I had to go there myself

Not since the day I became antipope



Religion doesn't mean a thing

Its just another way of being right wing

I think sex films are okay

I don't dig that pope no way



I've got nothing against church

Only people who go there

and show they're

Plain ignorant and don't understand

a congregation at weekends won't change their behaviour

So many people are weak enough to have

to seek answers from the peddlers of hope

I should know

I had to go there myself

Not since the day I became antipope
