Lyrics for Anti-Pope

I'm going back to church tonight Just like back when I was eight But I don't mean to pray I'm gonna nick a collection plate I've got nothing against church Only people that go there and show they're Plain ignorant and don't understand A congregation at weekends will change their behaviour So many people are weak and then have to Seek answers from pedlars of hope I should know I used to go there myself That's the day I became antipope There's gonna be some fun tonight Spreading news around the town That the vicar's a transvestite With a fetish for robes and gowns I've got nothing against church Only people that go there and show they're Plain ignorant and don't understand A congregation at weekends will change their behaviour So many people are weak and then have to Seek answers from pedlars of hope I should know I used to go there myself That's the day I became antipope Religion doesn't mean a thing Its just another way of being right wing I think sex films are okay I don't dig that pope, no way I've got nothing against church Only people that go there and show they're Plain ignorant and don't understand A congregation at weekends will change their behaviour So many people are weak and then have to Seek answers from pedlars of hope I should know I used to go there myself That's the day I became antipope
