Grace Petrie - Deliver Us From Evil lyrics

Well, Jesus came into the temple
The traders to evict
And he found himself ejected
By some bankers looking strict
And he said, "This is my father's house
You guys have missed the point"
Well they showed him all their
Dog collars and said, "Mate
We run the joint"

Well if I believed in Jesus and
If I believed in God
I'd find the Church of England's
Stock portfolio quite odd
When the ones that we confess to are
The ones that cheat and rob
Well it's no wonder then that Jesus
Gave us apples a bad job

Well, love is my rebellion
Compassion my dissent
No hope of finding any in
Those who claim they're heaven-sent
Who offer up salvation in
Their patronising psalms
And deliver us from evil and
Into the devil's arms
Oh, deliver us from evil straight
Into the devil's arms

Oh, deliver us from evil
From our misery and pain
Unless you find a way to
Use them for financial gain
Whoever heard of helping folks who
Were down on their luck
Well there's no room at the inn tonight
Your credit rating's fucked

Well, love is my rebellion
Compassion my dissent
No hope of finding any in
Those who claim they're heaven-sent
Who offer up salvation in
Their patronising psalms
And deliver us from evil and
Into the devil's arms
Oh, deliver us from evil and
Into the devil's arms

And it's hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, but when the chips are down
You can count on us to screw ya

Well, love is my rebellion
Compassion my dissent
No hope of finding any in
Those who claim they're heaven-sent
Who offer up salvation in
Their patronising psalms
And deliver us from evil and
Into the devil's arms
Oh, deliver us from evil and
Into the devil's arms
Oh, deliver us from evil and
Into the devil's arms
