Deliver Us From Evil
[Verse 1]
Well, Jesus came into the temple the traders to evict
And he found himself ejected by some bankers looking strict
And he said, "This is my father's house, you guys have missed the point"
Well they showed him all their dog collars and said, "Mate, we run the joint"
[Verse 2]
Well if I believed in Jesus and if I believed in God
I'd find the Church of England's stock portfolio quite odd
When the ones that we confess to are the ones that cheat and rob
Well it's no wonder then that Jesus gave us apples a bad job
[Chorus]
Well, love is my rebellion, compassion my dissent
No hope of finding any in those who claim they're heaven-sent
Who offer up salvation in their patronising psalms
And deliver us from evil and into the devil's arms
Oh, deliver us from evil straight into the devil's arms
[Verse 3]
Oh, deliver us from evil, from our misery and pain
Unless you find a way to use them for financial gain
Whoever heard of helping folks who were down on their luck
Well there's no room at the inn tonight, your credit rating's fucked
[Chorus]
Well, love is my rebellion, compassion my dissent
No hope of finding any in those who claim they're heaven-sent
Who offer up salvation in their patronising psalms
And deliver us from evil and into the devil's arms
Oh, deliver us from evil and into the devil's arms
[Bridge]
And it's hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, but when the chips are down
You can count on us to screw ya
[Chorus]
Well, love is my rebellion, compassion my dissent
No hope of finding any in those who claim they're heaven-sent
Who offer up salvation in their patronising psalms
And deliver us from evil and into the devil's arms
Oh, deliver us from evil and into the devil's arms
Oh, deliver us from evil and into the devil's arms
