[Intro]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Bridge]

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?

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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!

[Outro]

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!
