You gotta ask yourself this question. Can a man who has fought in the jungles with I.V. Lenin against the running dog capitalist pigs sleeping in a hut so lowly that the rats were as hunchback be my redeemer? And gotta say well maybe yes and maybe no, but I know that I gotta go somewhere, and that somewhere might well be church.
Forty days you've been tired and tempted Forty nights you've been out in the cold Every phone line conversation's intercepted And you can't reconnect ‘cause the frequency is closed
So many miles you've been out of direction So many signs but you ain't got nowhere to go now The Cadillac has got it's headlights disconnected You're rolling your wheels down the wrong side of the road
Can you see them now? Can you see them now? Can you see the sisters swinging yeah?
Can you hear them now? Can you hear them now? Can you hear the brothers singing yeah?
Let's go back to church Let's go back to church So damn long since we've sung this song Let's go back to church
Let's go back to church Let's go back to church Any day now, any way, any how Let's go back to church
You drink the wine, but it, it tastes like water And you broke the bread, but it, it had turned to stone The sacrament, it lay scattered on the pavement And the covenants you'd kept, they'd all been stolen and sold
You can see them now Yeah you can see them now You can see the sisters swinging yeah I know it now Yeah you can hear them now Yeah you can hear them now You can hear the brothers singing yeah
Let's go back to church Let's go back to church It's been so damn long since we've sung this song Let's go back to church
Let's go back to church Let's go back to church Any day now, any way, any how Let's go back to church
Right back!
Right back!
Yeah, 'cause I'm down with the street angels on this one, preacher
I ain't goin' away, no way Church is where I'm gonna stay Every time I come to church I feel a glow, alive, resuscitated Ain't no fear, I chase all my blues away, right here in church Yes sir
Gonna lift up my soul to the sunshine
Yeah, the lights in Heaven are gonna shine I'll feel so fine!
