lyrics

Oh, my dear Reverend
I spoke to God today
He wasn’t too pleased with
What you had to say
He threatened to cancel
The "Voice of koncil"
Called it an embarrassment
To his name

I said Oh, my Lord
He misread the Bible
And got it all wrong
But he said oh no, no, no
You got to sing him a little song

Oh, my dear Reverend
Shame you are your mother’s son
Shame you are your sister’s brother
Second to many and
First to none
First to none

You preach behind the glass door
The faith you know so little about
And the church is on her knees
She knows she let us down
It's not man over women
It's not women over men
It's men and women
Women and men

Oh, my dear Reverend
Shame you are your mother’s son
Shame you are your sister’s brother
Second to many and
First to none
First to none
