Syphilis & Religion Lyrics - Deepcut To Nowhere - Graham Parker

We're comin' in our big ships 

Big guns blazin' bibles in our hands 

Comin' from a cold place 

To lead those natives by the hand 

Back to back to back to back to 

Back to the promised land 

Now this is called fire 

This is called brimstone 

Do you understand

Chorus 

So bring me your coconuts 

Bring me your sweet mango too 

Bring me your papaya 

And I'll tell you what I'll bring for you 

Syphilis & religion 

That's what we are handin' out 

Syphilis & religion 

Two things you could 

Probably do without 

Now get your little donkeys 

Pack'em with straw and mud and water 

Build me a church right here 

Build me a whorehouse and 

Bring me your daughter 

She could do with some extra tuition 

Later on behind the mission 

Fanned by the cool night breeze 

I'll spread the word and the std's 

Photos 

Chorus 

(two things the world could do without) 

Now I'm talkin' to my man upstairs 

He talks through me 

My burden he shares 

He says go unto the islands boy 

Spread my word ann my gospel there 

Teach those little savages 

The one and only truth there is 

Go out and build me one nation 

Beach front property prime location 

Chorus
