"Converted" lyrics
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!
People get ready!
There's a train a-comin!
