We’re Christian You Know

We’re Christian, You Know

Verse 1

When those refugees come we spare no expenses

Turn back their boats and buff our defences

Bolster the borders round our white picket fences

They’re not neighbours to love, we tell them to go

We know what’s right, we’re Christian you know

CHORUS

We’re Christian you know, and oh don’t we just glow

With what we bestow on those far below

We’re the status quo, and our manifesto

Is we know what’s right, we’re Christian you know

Yeah we know what’s right, we’re Christian you know

Verse 2

When those kids in our care look to our preachers
For models of virtue and love for all creatures
They learn the places the holy hand reaches
We suffer the children, our faith is on show
We know what’s right, we’re Christian you know

CHORUS

Verse 3

When we march those soldiers away off to war
God knows what all the killing is for

And the blood it flows so holy and pure

Thou shalt not kill - unless we say so

We know what’s right, we’re Christian you know

Yeah, we know what’s right, we’re Christian you know

CHORUS

Reprise

They’re not neighbours to love, we tell them to go

We suffer the children, our faith is on show

Thou shalt not kill - unless we say so

We know what’s right, we’re Christian you know

We know what’s right

We’re Christian you know.
