[00:00:00] Canons Of Christianity (Live) - Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)

[00:00:00] The other night a voice came to me

[00:00:04] Turned out it was god

[00:00:08] He said Ochs wake up this is god here over

[00:00:15] I said you're putting me on of course Dylan

[00:00:27] So he did a few tricks

[00:00:28] He moved the bed back and forth

[00:00:31] Trembling I asked what is it you want o lord

[00:00:35] He said well frankly Phil I went downtown the other day

[00:00:39] Saw the greatest story ever told

[00:00:41] Couldn't believe it it's gone too far

[00:00:50] Something must be done about Christianity

[00:00:52] Then woof in a puff of smoke he disappeared

[00:00:55] The next morning I woke up had a few drinks

[00:00:57] Realized it was all true

[00:00:59] And decided to do something about Christianity

[00:01:02] But what could I do me a poor humble boy from the sticks

[00:01:07] Then I remembered I was a songwriter

[00:01:10] So I sat down with pen in hand over my typewriter

[00:01:17] Ended up writing this next song

[00:01:18] Which is a hymn about Christianity

[00:01:20] Actually an anti-hymn the first anti-hymn folks

[00:01:49] Christian cannons have fired at my days

[00:01:56] With the warning beneath the holy blaze

[00:02:02] And bow to our authority

[00:02:08] Say the cannons of Christianity

[00:02:17] Oh the children will be sent to schools

[00:02:23] Minds of clay are molded to their rules

[00:02:28] Learn to fear all of eternity

[00:02:35] Warn the cannons of Christianity

[00:02:44] Holy hands will count the money raised

[00:02:50] Like a king the lord is richly praised

[00:02:56] On a cross of diamond majesty

[00:03:02] Say the cannons of Christianity

[00:03:14] Missionaries will travel on crusades

[00:03:19] The word is given the heathen souls are saved

[00:03:25] Conversions to our morality

[00:03:31] Sigh the cannons of Christianity

[00:03:42] Come the wars and turn the rules around

[00:03:48] To bend your soul on the battle ground

[00:03:53] And the lord will march beside me

[00:04:00] Drone the cannons of Christianity

[00:04:09] Cathedral walls will glitter with their gold

[00:04:15] And the sermons speak through silver robes

[00:04:20] Building castles amidst the poverty

[00:04:27] Say the cannons of Christianity

[00:04:38] Worship now and wash your sins away

[00:04:44] Drop the coins fall to your knees and pray

[00:04:50] Cleanse the world of all hypocrisy

[00:04:56] Smile the cannons of Christianity

[00:05:05] Christian cannons have fired at my days

[00:05:12] With the warning beneath the holy blaze

[00:05:19] And bow to our authority

[00:05:25] Say the cannons of Christianity

[00:05:31] Cry the cannons of Christianity
