Why You're Not In church
Skirmish: Why You're Not In Church (@unownedart)Lyrics
There's a place where everyone is welcome Now that's a place where you really ought to be Sit down in a pew We've got room for you How about right here right next to me
There's a place where everyone's forgiven Doesn't matter how bad you have failed Come on up with me And get down on your knees And weep out all your sins up at the rail
Everybody here loves everybody Well almost everybody anyway Unless your hair is blue or maybe you Are black or brown or gay Or if you crossed the border "the wrong way."
You can see the doors are always open Free to anybody who believes But know that if you come in We "love the sinner but hate the sin" So that door is always open and you're free to leave.
Everybody here loves everybody Well almost everybody anyway Unless your hair is blue or maybe you Are black or brown or gay Or if you crossed the border "the wrong way."
Anyway, my Sundays have been free since I realized who was sitting next to me "Love one another" they said While they were voting Red So I thought that I'd find better places to be.
Everybody here loves everybody Well almost everybody anyway Unless your hair is blue or maybe you Are black or brown or gay Or if you crossed the border "the wrong way."

Sounds a bit like Flying Burrito Brothers to me. Has a bit of a country feel. Very good melody with a hooky chorus. Well done.
Very funny take on Christian Judgementalists!
I laughed out loud when the first chorus came around ... very well done! Great twist.
Oh, this is so spot on! I love you direct the contradictions head on! That is such a great chorus!!! So sad but too often so true!
Great write and structure in the time frame. Hypocrisy and religion often go hand in hand.
Ooh, biting! I like how the jaunty tune lulls my ear into thinking it's a different song entirely. Some powerful lines here, excellent work 😊
Love the jaunty rhythm and chorus is great! And the 'back to bed' at the end!
I like the classic olde time country feel I get from this, both musically and in its unflinchingly critical sentiment. Favorite line: "So that door is always open and you're free to leave."
