I'm going back to church tonight

Take me back when I was eight

But I don't mean to pray

I'm gonna nick the collection plate

I've got nothing against church

Or the people who go there and show there

Plain ignorant they don't understand

At congregation at weekends will change their behaviour

So many people are weak enough

To have to seek answers from pedlars of hope

I should know, I used to go there myself

That's the day I became antipope

Theres gonna be some fun tonight

Spending it around the town

The vicars are transvestites

With a fetish for robes and gowns

I've got nothing against church

Or the people who go there and show there

Plain ignorant they don't understand

At congregation at weekends will change their behaviour

So many people are weak enough

To have to seek answers from pedlars of hope

I should know I used to go there myself

That's the day I became antipope

Religion doesn't mean a thing

Its just another way of being right wing

I think sex films are okay

I don't dig that poko way

I've got nothing against church

Or the people who go there and show there

Plain ignorant they don't understand

At congregation at weekends will change their behaviour

So many people are weak enough

To have to seek answers from pedlars of hope

I should know I used to go there myself

That's the day I became antipope
