I found myself upon the beach
Where Jesus made his final speech
But I wonder what he meant
He said, "There's no heavenly ascent
No Holy Grail, no Holy Land
No Holy footprints in the sand"
Then he looked at us with loss
Crawled back up on that cross
He said, "Nothing can save this lot
There ain't no cure for what you all got
You're gonna drown in sugar and spice
Head my warning and take my advice
Repent! Repent!
You're kinky and bent
You're all hell bound and I'm heaven sent
Repent! Repent!
It won't do you no good
'Cause you nailed me to this block of wood"
Uncle Sam was in the sky
Said, "There ain't no apple pie
No Liberty, no Hollywood
No reward for being good
I've been sent to find the cure
To make the milk and honey pure
But there ain't no Disneyland
No Mickey Mouse gonna take your hand
Nothing can save your souls
Chevrolet can't rebuild you whole
The machine has run out of steam
You better get with the winning team
Repent! Repent!
You're kinky and bent
You're all hell bound and I'm heaven sent
Repent! Repent!
It won't do you no good
'Cause you nailed the baby Jesus to a block of wood"
I found Mary in my bed
Told her no whore would give me head
No free love, no easy sex
No hickey bleeding from my neck
She asked about my one true love
A beauty made for dreaming of
I told her, with the sins I got
No blushing bride will tie my knot
She said, "Nothing can save you now
I wouldn't bother anyhow
I hate people who whine and bitch
'Cause they're rubbed raw where they used to itch
Repent! Repent!
You're kinky and bent
You're all hell bound and I'm heaven sent
Repent! Repent!
It won't do you no good
'Cause you nailed my baby to a block of wood"
