Heard the whispers, shot my gun
Made the congregation run
Saw the sinners in the crowd
See them cry, aren't they loud?
Shot my baby, killed a nun
Kicked a man who held his son
He fell right down in a pew
Look what the good Lord did to you
From the pulpit, the good Lord said to me,
"This is the way it's going to be"
And the choir sang, "Hallelujah"
But that ain't much good when my bullets cut right through ya
Watch the flock flock to the door
Don't you want the good word anymore?
Is it so hard to see
With my gun, we'll pray in peace?
The doors open, I saw the light
You ain't walking out without a fight
The blood runs out the door
You ain't coming back to this church no more
From the pulpit, the good Lord said to me,
"This is the way it's going to be"
And the choir sang, "Hallelujah"
But that ain't much good when my bullets cut right through ya
