Lyrics

[Intro]
Bollocks
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
I got nothing against church
Or any people who go there
And show their plain ignorance, don't understand
A congregation at weekends won't change their behavior
So many people are weak
And not have to seek answers from the peddlers of hope
I should know, I used to go there myself
That's the day I became anti-pope
[Verse 2]
It's gonna be some fun tonight
Spreading news around the town
That the vicars are transvestites
With a fetish for robes and gowns
[Chorus]
I got nothing against church
Or any people who go there
And show their plain ignorance, don't understand
A congregation at weekends won't change their behavior
So many people are weak
And not have to seek answers from the peddlers of hope
I should know, I used to go there myself
That's the day I became anti-pope
[Verse 3]
Religion doesn't mean a thing
It's just another way of being right wing
I think sex films are okay
I don't dig that pope, no way
[Chorus]
I got nothing against church
Or any people who go there
And show their plain ignorance, don't understand
A congregation at weekends won't change their behavior
So many people are weak
And not have to seek answers from the peddlers of hope
I should know, I used to go there myself
That's the day I became anti-pope
