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 |
