Dirty Little Religion Songtext / Lyric

Warren Zevon, Zevon Music BMI



I like to think I've earned my reputation

For rushing in where angels fear to tread

I'll take you home to meet the congregation

We'll all get together in my tent



I make a dirty little religion out of lovin'

I'll make a dirty little convert out of you

I make a dirty little religion out of lovin'

I'll make a dirty little convert out of you



They treat you like a red-headed stepchild

And try to keep you nailed to the floor

Join us for the countdown to the Rapture

We never turned a sinner from our door



I make a dirty little religion out of lovin'

I'll make a dirty little convert out of you

I make a dirty little religion out of lovin'

It's a dirty little religion, hallelujah






Dirty little acolyte

Dirty little one

Learn the fundamentals of desire

Can I get a witness

To my testament?

Can I get an amen from the choir?



I like to think I've earned my reputation

For trying to take the bull by the horns

I'll show you where I get my inspiration

Where we plow and where we plant the corn



I make a dirty little religion out of lovin'

I'll make a dirty little convert out of you

I make a dirty little religion out of lovin'

It's a dirty little religion, hallelujah



Dirty little acolyte

Dirty little one

You'll learn the fundamentals of desire

Can I get a witness

To my testament?

Can I get an amen from the choir?
