Words to a song

Here are the words to a song in progress from about ten years ago that I have never gotten around to finsihing. I have the music, and even did a multi-track four-part harmony recording to a piano track of the following lyrics.

But, the lyrics are just the opening and ending parts - no middle was ever written.

Here's the part that's done, from a file dated 9-20-97

The P. C. Song

There are heathens in the churches,
there are faggots in the park,
there are wetbacks in the bushes
and the trees.

There are black men in the white house,
there are perverts in the dark,
and this is why we get down
on our knees.

And we pray
to make them go away.
We shall sing Hallelujah
on that day.

Thy kingdom come,
to wipe away the scum.
But until then,
we'll simply say, "Amen."

*********

The miracle has happened,
Our enemies are gone,
They’ve vanished and there’s no one
Left to fear.

It must’ve been the rapture,
But we don’t understand,
Why they went up but we are
Still down here.

And so we pray
To take us all away.
We shall sing Hallelujah
On that day.

Thy Kingdom came,
There’s no one left to blame.
So now and then,
We’ll simply say “Amen.”
