Canons Of Christianity (Live) - Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)[00:00:00]

The other night a voice came to me[00:00:00]

Turned out it was god[00:00:04]

He said Ochs wake up this is god here over[00:00:08]

I said you're putting me on of course Dylan[00:00:15]

So he did a few tricks[00:00:27]

He moved the bed back and forth[00:00:28]

Trembling I asked what is it you want o lord[00:00:31]

He said well frankly Phil I went downtown the other day[00:00:35]

Saw the greatest story ever told[00:00:39]

Couldn't believe it it's gone too far[00:00:41]

Something must be done about Christianity[00:00:50]

Then woof in a puff of smoke he disappeared[00:00:52]

The next morning I woke up had a few drinks[00:00:55]

Realized it was all true[00:00:57]

And decided to do something about Christianity[00:00:59]

But what could I do me a poor humble boy from the sticks[00:01:02]

Then I remembered I was a songwriter[00:01:07]

So I sat down with pen in hand over my typewriter[00:01:10]

Ended up writing this next song[00:01:17]

Which is a hymn about Christianity[00:01:18]

Actually an anti-hymn the first anti-hymn folks[00:01:20]

Christian cannons have fired at my days[00:01:49]

With the warning beneath the holy blaze[00:01:56]

And bow to our authority[00:02:02]

Say the cannons of Christianity[00:02:08]

Oh the children will be sent to schools[00:02:17]

Minds of clay are molded to their rules[00:02:23]

Learn to fear all of eternity[00:02:28]

Warn the cannons of Christianity[00:02:35]

Holy hands will count the money raised[00:02:44]

Like a king the lord is richly praised[00:02:50]

On a cross of diamond majesty[00:02:56]

Say the cannons of Christianity[00:03:02]

Missionaries will travel on crusades[00:03:14]

The word is given the heathen souls are saved[00:03:19]

Conversions to our morality[00:03:25]

Sigh the cannons of Christianity[00:03:31]

Come the wars and turn the rules around[00:03:42]

To bend your soul on the battle ground[00:03:48]

And the lord will march beside me[00:03:53]

Drone the cannons of Christianity[00:04:00]

Cathedral walls will glitter with their gold[00:04:09]

And the sermons speak through silver robes[00:04:15]

Building castles amidst the poverty[00:04:20]

Say the cannons of Christianity[00:04:27]

Worship now and wash your sins away[00:04:38]

Drop the coins fall to your knees and pray[00:04:44]

Cleanse the world of all hypocrisy[00:04:50]

Smile the cannons of Christianity[00:04:56]

Christian cannons have fired at my days[00:05:05]

With the warning beneath the holy blaze[00:05:12]

And bow to our authority[00:05:19]

Say the cannons of Christianity[00:05:25]

Cry the cannons of Christianity[00:05:31]
