I've see that old Blue Mosque and the Temple on the Mount
I went to Katmandu to see what it was all about
I've seen the Sistine Chapel, heard the choir in ole Salt Lake
But it ain't really church, if you ain't got a snake
No It ain't really church now, if you ain't got a snake
Reach down and grab a serpent,boy, if you got the faith
Drink a shot of poison, don't you worry about your fate
No It ain't really church, now, if you ain't got a snake
In the Holy Bible in the Gospel of St Mark
When they rolled away the stone and Jesus walked out of the dark
He said to his disciples go forth and spread my word
Out unto the wilderness to those whove never heard
Signs will follow my believers, Demons cast out by their touch
They will lay their hands upon the sick and those folks will jump right up
Poison will not harm them, some will speak in tongues
and they shall take up serpents the elders and the young
No It ain't really church, if you ain't got a snake
Reach down and grab a serpent, if you got the faith
Drink a shot of poison, death be not your your fate
No It ain't really church, if you ain't got a snake
There's Notre Dame Cathedral you know it is quite grand
and don't forget the Alamo out there in the sand
and Gaudi's Holy Family in Barcelona Spain
But it ain't really Church, if you aint got a snake
No It ain't really church, if you ain't got a snake
Reach down and grab a serpent, if you got the faith
Drink a shot of poison, don't worry about your fate
No It ain't really church, if you ain't got a snake
