The Christians ate the lions
The crowd roared in silence
They sang the right words to the wrong song
Congress argued all night
To vote black and to white
They wrote the right words to the wrong song
The young mother is alone
The young father is flown
They sang the right words to the wrong song
The melody goes like this
The beat goes like that
You heard the callers before
And it keeps coming back
Some claim to walk on the water
Then leave the land to the slaughter
They sing the right words to the wrong song
The lead singer at the mic
Wants the ballot to be liked
He'll sing the right words to the wrong song
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah


Yeah
Yeah

Yeah




Yeah
A melody goes like this

goes like this, or the beat goes like that, you heard the chorus before, and it keeps on coming fast, just stay with me tonight, I'll let you sing what you like, even the right words to the wrong, we'll sing the wrong words to the right, we'll sing the
right words to the wrong song.
