No more decoration No more piss Christs Or donkey shit virgins In the next life No more tax on hardworking citizens To finance these abominations O the shakers from Shakerville are here Quakers and puritans appear Smiting Sodomites with a mighty rod Bringing Protestant art direct from God A gallery like a church Woods of pine and birch A protestant artist is at work Improving minds And through the wood An icy wind whistles through the pines The lord is coming down now, we must show How weve been investing, if weve reached his goals You never know tomorrow may be your tax control The Lord is an accountant, an accountant of souls Dont practice deceit, keep your receipts, keep your receipts For the shakers from Shakerville are here Quakers and puritans appear Smiting Sodomites with a mighty rod Bringing Protestant art direct from God The seamstress is making a little girls dress She stitches the seams with little grey threads Frigid and severe, she sits and sighs Shes got a grey room, shes got grey eyes O the shakers from Shakerville are here Quakers and puritans appear With a righteous heart they go before To bring Sodomites and art within Gods law Oh the shakers from Shakerville are here Quakers and puritans appear Spouting gibberish at Sodomites they meet Righteous with the arrogance of the meek Are you justified, are you qualified Whats your salary, will you pass the gates of Gods great art gallery when youve died Ive seen whats in your diary Can you honestly tell me you are perfectly normal? The lord is coming down but I dont care Youll never break my spirit, youll never raise my hair Human creativity is all right by me Ron Athey, Chris Offili, Karen Finlay But the shakers from Shakerville are here Quakers and puritans appear Invincible for God is at their side Their maker, art critic and guide Oh the puritans are marching bravely on Keeping America strong Smiting Sodomites with a mighty rod Bringing Protestant art direct from God Invincible for God is at their side Their maker, art critic and guide
