Denomination Blues

(ry cooder)

Some people preaching
They do very well
They take all your money
And you can go to hell
And that's all
That's all
When you could have jesus
And that's all

You can go to your college
You can go to your school
If you ain't got jesus
You're just an educated fool
And that's all
That's all
You gotta have jesus now
And that's all

If you pardon me sir
You ain't doin' too well
You spend your whole life sinning
And you're going to hell
And that's all
But that ain't all
'cause you could have jesus now
And that's all

It's good to stand together
It's bad to stand apart
The only ones going to heaven
Are the pure in heart
And that's all
That's all
You better get jesus now
And that's all

Jesus is coming back on the dividing day
Taking in the sheep
Turning the goats away
That'll be all now
That'll be all
You better take jesus now
And that's all
