Protestant Art |
No more decoration |
No more piss Christs |
Or donkey shit virgins |
In the next life |
No more tax on hard-working citizens |
To finance these abominations |
O the shakers from Shakerville are here |
Quakers and puritans appear |
Smiting Sodomites with a mighty rod |
Bringing Protestant art direct from God |
A gallery like a church |
Woods of pine and birch |
A protestant artist is at work |
Improving minds |
And through the wood |
An icy wind whistles through the pines |
The lord is coming down now, we must show |
How we’ve been investing, if we’ve reached his goals |
You never know tomorrow may be your tax control |
The Lord is an accountant, an accountant of souls |
Don’t practice deceit, keep your receipts, keep your receipts |
For the shakers from Shakerville are here |
Quakers and puritans appear |
Smiting Sodomites with a mighty rod |
Bringing Protestant art direct from God |
The seamstress is making a little girl’s dress |
She stitches the seams with little grey threads |
Frigid and severe, she sits and sighs |
She’s got a grey room, she’s got grey eyes |
O the shakers from Shakerville are here |
Quakers and puritans appear |
With a righteous heart they go before |
To bring Sodomites and art within God’s law |
Oh the shakers from Shakerville are here |
Quakers and puritans appear |
Spouting gibberish at Sodomites they meet |
Righteous with the arrogance of the meek |
Are you justified, are you qualified |
What’s your salary, will you pass the gates of God’s great art gallery when |
you’ve died |
I’ve seen what’s in your diary |
Can you honestly tell me you are perfectly normal? |
The lord is coming down but I don’t care |
You’ll never break my spirit, you’ll never raise my hair |
Human creativity is all right by me |
Ron Athey, Chris Offili, Karen Finlay |
But the shakers from Shakerville are here |
Quakers and puritans appear |
Invincible for God is at their side |
Their maker, art critic and guide |
Oh the puritans are marching bravely on |
Keeping America strong |
Smiting Sodomites with a mighty rod |
Bringing Protestant art direct from God |
Invincible for God is at their side |
Their maker, art critic and guide |
