Teach the Christians

Who’s gonna teach the Christians the teachings of Jesus Christ?

They think they got it figured out but they ain’t got it right

They turn away from all their neighbors and steal from the poor

They put up walls along their borders and locks on all their doors

The way they act is such a sorry sight

Who’s gonna teach the Christians the teachings of Jesus Christ?

They think the world is simple, they see it all in black and white

And they’re quick to pass their judgments about who is free to love

But if they knew what's what they’d know it’s not for them to judge

And then they want to go and start a fight?

Who’s gonna teach the Christians the teachings of Jesus Christ?

They’ve got the riches of world and keep them locked up tight

And they teach their children hatred, and they teach their children fear

And they leave this world polluted because they think salvation is near

But we’re all on the same road home tonight

So it’s time to teach the Christians the teachings of Jesus Christ?
