LYRICS
Wouldn’t ya say we resemble
How to peacefully assemble
Writing songs about freedom
Redress of grievances from the free dumb
Chorus
I had to tell the Po-po No! No!
Ya know, he didn’t know
Gay Church… Church and Gay
Bring your guitar and learn how to play
Perhaps you should dot your i’s and maybe cross your t’s
Before you confront me
Please don’t tread on me
Just because you’re walled-in
Doesn’t mean we gotta stop talkin’
While your face is turning green
The writing on the wall will be seen
Gay Church (An American Band).mp4
