lyrics

I’m giving up church for Lent
I’m curbing my urge to repent
Living as best I can as an un-pious man
I’m giving up church for Lent

Five whole Sundays straight
Of sleeping in real late
I’ve got to stay resolved and push on, un-absolved
Five whole Sundays straight

So long…
So long…
Without a single drop from the Blood of Christ
Without a single verse from a hymnal song

I’m giving up on prayer
Every night, I swear
Repressing all the while the need to reconcile
I’m giving up on prayer

For forty days and nights
I must go without rites
Sermon and Eucharist—these things will not exist
For forty days and nights

So long…
So long…
Without a single drop from the Blood of Christ
Without a single verse from a hymnal song

So if I have to choose
I’ll give up priests and pews
I’ll see no altars glow, I’ll hear no organs blow
If I have to choose

Because I’m giving up church for Lent
I’m curbing my urge to repent
Living as best I can as an un-pious man
I’ve finished my search for
I’ll stray from God’s perch for
I’m giving up church for Lent
