Dirty Little Religion Lyrics

Dirty Little Religion lyrics

Warren Zevon, Zevon Music BMI



I like to think I've earned my reputation 

For rushing in where angels fear to tread 

I'll take you home to meet the congregation 

We'll all get together in my tent 



I make a dirty little religion out of lovin' 

I'll make a dirty little convert out of you 

I make a dirty little religion out of lovin' 

I'll make a dirty little convert out of you 



They treat you like a red-headed stepchild 

And try to keep you nailed to the floor 

Join us for the countdown to the Rapture 

We never turned a sinner from our door 



I make a dirty little religion out of lovin' 

I'll make a dirty little convert out of you 

I make a dirty little religion out of lovin' 

It's a dirty little religion, hallelujah 



Dirty little acolyte 

Dirty little one 

Learn the fundamentals of desire 

Can I get a witness 

To my testament? 

Can I get an amen from the choir? 



I like to think I've earned my reputation 

For trying to take the bull by the horns 

I'll show you where I get my inspiration 

Where we plow and where we plant the corn 



I make a dirty little religion out of lovin' 

I'll make a dirty little convert out of you 

I make a dirty little religion out of lovin' 

It's a dirty little religion, hallelujah 



Dirty little acolyte 

Dirty little one 

You'll learn the fundamentals of desire 

Can I get a witness 

To my testament? 

Can I get an amen from the choir?
