To Be Or Not Lyrics

Everybodyduck To Be Or Not

YOU LISTEN TO THE PREACHER AND YOU NOD AND SAY "AMEN"
PRAYING THAT YOUR NEIGHBOUR WILL BE CONVICTED AND REPENT
OH THE PREACHER HITS YOUR SOFT SPOT AND YOU WALK ON DOWN THE
AISLE
THROW A FIFTY IN THE PLATE AND LEAVE THE BUILDING WITH A SMILE
BUT INSIDE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED AND YOUR FAITH IS CLEARLY DEAD
OH YOUR NEIGHBOUR'S HAVING BIBLE STUDY WHILE YOU'RE AT HOME IN
BED

AND YOU DO JESUS, JUST AS WELL AS YOU DO SHAKESPEARE
AND FRANKLY THAT'S NOT VERY GOOD AT ALL
OH THE CHURCH IS YOUR THEATRE AND TRADITION IS YOUR SCRIPT
BUT WHERE YOU GONNA BE WHEN THE FINAL CURTAIN FALLS

WELL YOU KNOW THE BIBLE STORIES, YOU QUOTE SCRIPTURE IN YOUR
SLEEP
GO TO EVERY CHURCH HELD FUNCTION IF THE PRICE IS NOT TOO STEEP
LEAD THE CHOIR SUNDAY MORNING, TEACH THE LESSON WEDNESDAY
NIGHT
SINGING "ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS" BUT INSIDE LOSING THE FIGHT
CAUSE YOU ONLY PRAY AT MEALTIMES AND YOUR BIBLE'S GATHERING
DUST
YOU'VE NEVER LISTENED FOR GOD'S LEADING AND ON JESUS YOU PUT
YOUR TRUST

AND YOU DO JESUS, JUST AS WELL AS YOU DO SHAKESPEARE
AND FRANKLY THAT'S NOT VERY GOOD AT ALL
OH THE CHURCH IS YOUR THEATRE AND TRADITION IS YOUR SCRIPT
BUT WHERE YOU GONNA BE WHEN THE FINAL CURTAIN FALLS
