Lyrics
The night is dark, the moon is blue/And I just wanna make love to you/uh huh huh huh/oh yeah
Makin' love baby ain't no sin/Let's do it once lets do it again/uh huh huh huh/oh yeah
The preacher he's full of hate/He'll condemn you to hell as an apostate/uh huh huh huh/oh yeah
Religious folks are everywhere/They'll kill us all with hate and fear/uh huh huh huh/oh yeah
They won't let you marry who you please/But they'll let you die from a weird disease/ ".
You can't take pills or smoke your dope/But you can drink until your comatose/.........."
Solomon sang a blues or two/With five hundred wives what else could he do/......."
The preacher's he's just preaching lies, the crap he says would make jesus cry/........."
He sees the speck in his neighbors eye/but the log in his own seems to pass him by/..."
He's a holier than thou hypocrite/the kind that gave Jesus such a fit/........."
He never turns the other cheek/he attacks his enemies everytime he speaks/....."
Family values are what he spouts/you better buy in or he'll rub you out/....."
Now the president he's a religious man/someday he'll send you to the promised land/.."
He steals from the poor to give to the rich/while praising Jesus now ain't that a bitch/..."
He must of forgot what Jesus said/that the poor people must be fed/..."
It's easier for a camel to count to seven/than for a rich man to get to heaven/....."
We gotta get those monkeys off our backs/or they'll give us all a heart attack/..."
We forgot how to be free/when we sold our souls to the company/...."
So come on people sing the blues with me/the blues will set your spirit free/...."
The night is dark, the moon is blue/And I just wanna make love to you/uh huh huh huh/oh yeah
Makin' love baby ain't no sin/We did it once lets do it again/uh huh huh huh/oh yeah
Uh huh huh huh/Oh yeah.
