Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Try and envision a religion that's based upon smooth transitions and rhythm
Like, ah, conjugations across nations
Celebrating the fact that the weekend has landed, see
We don't believe in omnipotent beings in the skies above
All exists now is peace, love and green doves
See, in our church we don't recite passage
We keep holy the sabbath as we listen to Nina Kraviz
And we patiently wait at pearly gates which open late
And close somewhere in the early hours
And our church is teeming with sinners in need of redeeming
Heathens ready to believe what we believe in
[Verse 2]
I'm a minister of sound
Must be the green doves kicking in
[Verse 3]
Try and envision a religion that's based upon smooth transitions and–
Shameless, nameless, blameless faces have put blind faith in Chase & Status
Their amazing grace is their faith in Faithless
If God is a DJ, then we pray that he plays deep basses
Forever and ever and ever and ever, Amen
Because I am baptised in my own sweat
There's no communion
We've only got community
DJ killing it so much I wrote it a fucking eulogy
[Verse 4]
Then I can literally feel the music
I am a minister of sound and
I've got a choir of high definition speakers
Blasting me with blasphemy and sacrilegious instruments
I've got a glorious chorus from Notorious and his 10 Crack Commandments
[Verse 5]
Try and envision a religion that's based upon smooth transitions and rhythm
Like, ah, conjugations across nations
Celebrating the fact that the weekend has landed, see
For his final coup de grace
The DJ fixes the switches and triggers a mix
Of Prince's "Kiss" that I've just never heard before
But I am convinced
And those who aren't, they scream, "One. More. Tune."
He says, "Jack, go in peace and love
But for God's sake, kid, now stay off the drugs"
And this is the gospel according to somedeadbeat
