The Cannons Of Christianity Lyrics by Phil Ochs

The Cannons Of Christianity Lyrics

    pre> 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
    Say the cannons of christianity

    /pre>
