Cannons Of Christianity Lyrics

Cannons Of Christianity lyrics

Phil Ochs
Christian cannons have fired at my days
With the warning
beneath the holy blaze
And bow to our authority
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
Defend 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
Cry the cannons of Christianity
