The Cannons Of Christianity Lyrics - A Hero Of The Game - 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 

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
