letra de gates of heaven - the mary wallopers

[verse 1]
he was pillar of community, we all knew his name
every week he’d drink the altar wine it musta rot his brain
took young one’s for confessions, they ne’r came back the same
when questions needed answering, no one would take the blame

[chorus]
if the gates of heaven opened wide
i’d love to have a look at who’s inside
think i’d be more afraid of what would come out
if the rotten seeds of truth began to sprout

[verse 2]
when the hotel’s needеd washing done the sisters got a plan
takе the single mothers off the street and the babies from the prams
tell them they need saving, they work both night and day
sell the babby to the yanks for a bit of extra pay

[chorus]
if the gates of heaven opened wide
i’d love to have a look at who’s inside
think i’d be more afraid of what would come out
if the rotten seeds of truth began to sprout

[verse 3]
we walk hand in hand between the pulpit and the jail
when everyone’s against ye you can never win the game
you tell us we need saving, you’re laughing to the bank
you’re out abusing children then you tell us not to w-nk
[chorus]
if the gates of heaven opened wide
i’d love to have a look at who’s inside
think i would be more afraid of what would come out
when the rotten seeds of truth began to sprout

[verse 4]
thou shall not k!ll
thou shall not steal
thou shall not bear false witness against women for your gain
thou shall not hide babies inside a septic tank
there’s a time to be a poet there’s a time for being frank

[verse 5]
thou shall not be rich
thou shall be in prison
thou shall pay your consequences every single day
thou should all be taken up and lined against the wall
it’s time to break the chains and let the rosary beads fall

[chorus]
if the gates of heaven opened wide
i’d love to have a look at who’s inside
think i’d be more afraid of what would come out
with the rotten seeds of truth began to sprout
[musical outro to the tune of ‘the dawning of the day’]
