Congregation, settle in your seats The rev

I'm about to freak you out

Make you shiver in the pew
While I'm delivering to you

To diminish our faith
To discourage us from loving

I'm bout to walk you through it
We're gonna take the nation
back
from the heathens that's within it

Am
Cause a schism while we're at it,
We'll purify your minds
of what's illegitimately thought
It's not to be a battle indis

and I'm gonna need you to commit
Dm
Am
Might take a couple generations
Start with the kids, in fact,
Dm
So I'd like you to write a couple letters
Do you, do you really believe
We were nothing but the monkeys
swinging up in the trees?
Don't it seem a little likelier
that Adam and Eve
Did a lot of hopping
and that was the origin of the species?
Do you, do you really believe
We were nothing but the monkeys
swinging up in the trees
Don't I seem a little lucklier
than Adam and me?
You did a lot of hopping

and apostasy,
it's what I'm doing
Look to your holy book to light the way,

swinging up in the trees
Thought it seemed a little lucklier
than that to me
Did a lot of humping
