Video for the Queen Christina song "Children of God", an exercise in irreverence!

Lyrics:
1. Here’s the church and here’s the steeple
Take a picture of the scene
Here the sheep but where the people
Vicar in his limousine
Drink the blood and eat the body
Onward Christian soldiers all
We are strong we feel the glory
Follow at the piper’s call

Br: Hallelujah hallelujah oh ho
Hallelujah hallelujah oh ho

Ch: We are the children of God, children of God
children of God, children of God

2. Neighbour howdy come and join us
Come and join our brotherhood
Sister sign me up I’m for it
D’you think it’ll do me some good
Look at us we are so joyful
How we wish we understood
What "saved" means, oh we’re so noble
See the trees but not the wood

Mid 8: Hallelujah hallelujah, Hallelujah hallelu
Hallelujah hallelujah
I am better than you because I go to church
I know all the Gospels chapter and verse
Upside down and side to side, I’m an authority
On bitchin’ about other churchgoers, the majority
We're created equal, some more equal than others
You ain't one of us I can't call you my brother

Ch: We are the children of God, children of God
children of God, children of God...

3. Jesus would weep hearing his words
Twisted round to serve a purpose
Someone must have been having fun
It’s a myth, would you believe it
It’s tradition, it’s what you do
Beam me up some pure religion
The piper he has come for you

Br: Hallelujah hallelujah oh ho
Hallelujah hallelujah oh ho

Ch: We are the children of God, children of God
children of God, children of God...
