The Church Is For Sinners lyrics

The pulpits standing empty, the congregations left
Because to qualify for piety they had to pass a test
Q: How much "roughly" is your god worth to you?
Q: And if he said "lay down your life for me" could you give that too?

Chorus:
And will they never understand
That the future is in man

The priests, when told of starving kids, look on in mock dismay
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/a/amebix-lyrics/the-church-is-for-sinners-lyrics.html ]
While thinking of new ways by which to make religion pay
Money from mass misery? There's nothing wrong with that
The church holds out a bloodstained hand to pass around the hat

"By the pricking in my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes" (Shakespeare)
