Moan, You Moaners

Lyrics

Sisters and brothers
 We met here on some serious business
 It's been some back biting going on
 And the thing I want to know is who's been doing it
 It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
 The thing I want to know is what bit me on my
 I mean who bit me on my back?
 You sinners
 Hear my call
 Satan's waiting for you all
 Better get your souls washed white
 Better see the light
 (Amen)
 Fire is burning down below
 If you ain't right down you go
 To original hot brim stone
 Let you start right in to moan
 You better get down on your knees
 And let the god lord hear your pleas (oh yeah)
 On that you want to rest with ease
 Moan, you moaners
 Just bend your head way down and pray
 To have the devil chased away
 Come let your souls be saved today
 Moan, you moaners
 Singing hallelujah
 Flood up the lamb
 Let your voices rise
 Hear me talking to you
 Ain't got no time to sham
 (If you want to get to paradise)
 You must repeat without a doubt
 And let the good lord hear you shout (oh yeah)
 Religion turns you inside out
 Moan, you moaners
 You better get down on your knees
 And let the god lord hear your pleas (oh yeah)
 On that you want to rest with ease
 Moan, you moaners
 Just bend your head way down and pray
 To have the devil chased away (oh yeah)
 Come let your souls be saved today
 Moan, you moaners
 Singing hallelujah
 Flood up the lamb
 Let your voices rise
 Hear me talking to you
 Ain't got no time to sham
 (If you want to get to paradise)
 Within, without a doubt
 Let the good lord hear you shout (oh yeah)
 Religion turns you inside out
 Moan, you moaners
