Alabama 3 – Converted lyrics

Shoot me with the real thing
Shoot me, me moth, me motha'
Now's the time for you
To get right and repent

I've been converted
Sit right there and get educated
Sit right there
I've been converted

Peace in the valley
I've been converted
Peace in the valley
Sit right there and get educated
Sit right there

You gotta ask yourself this question
Can a man who has fought in the jungles
With I. V. Lenin against the running bell
Kept the least of pigs?

Sleepin' and huntin' so lonely
That the rats would search back
Be my redeemer, an' gotta say well maybe

Yes, and maybe no, but I know
That I gotta go somewhere
And that somewhere might
As well be church

Now's the time for you to get right and repent
I've been converted

Forty days you been tried and tempted
Forty nights you been out in the cold
Every phone line conversation's intercepted
You can't reconnect 'cause the frequency is closed

So many winds, you been out of direction
So many signs, you ain't got nowhere to go, yeah
Cadillac has got its headlights disconnected
You're rollin' your wheels down the wrong side of the road

Can you see them now?
Can you see them now?
Can you see the sisters swinging, yeah?

Can you hear them now?
Can you hear them now?
Now's the time for you to get right and repent
Can you hear the brothers singing, yeah?

Let's go back to church
Let's go back to church
So damn long since we sung this song
Let's go back to church

Let's go back to church
Let's go back to church
Any day now, anyway, anyhow
Let's go back to church

I've been converted

'Cause see
You drink the wine but it, it tastes like water
And ya broke the bread but it, it turned into stone
The Sacrament, it lays scattered on the pavement
And the covenants you kept they'd all
Been stolen under the soul

You can see them now
Yeah, you can see them now
You can see the sisters swinging, yeah

I know it now
Yeah, you can hear them now
Yeah, you can hear them now
Hear the brothers singing, yeah

Let's go back to church
Let's go back to church
Its been so damn long since we sung this song

Let's go back to church
Let's go back to church, yeah
Let's go back to church
Any day now, anyway, anyhow

Let's go back to church
Right back

I've been converted
I've been con

Right back

I've been converted
I've been

The Lord knows I
The Lord knows I
The Lord knows I
I've been converted long time

The Lord knows I
Take your time
The Lord knows I
Back to you, oh Lord
The Lord knows I, ohh
I've been converted

Yeah 'cause I'm talkin'
With the street angels on this road

I ain't goin' away, no way
Church is where I'm goin' to stay every time
I come to church I feel allow, alive, resuscitated
Ain't no fear, I chase all them demons
Away right here in church, yes sir

Let's go back to church
Let's go back to church
I'm gonna lift up my soul to the sunshine
Now, any how

Let's go back to church
Let's go back to church
Let's go back to church
Yeah, the lights in heaven
Goin' to shine on this
People get ready

There's a train a comin'
Let's go back to church
Let's go back to church
Now, any how, say it now
Let's go back to church
