written by Steve Taylor

I’d gone through so much other stuff

That walking down the aisle was tough

But now I know it’s not enough

I asked the Lord into my heart

They said that was the way to start

But now you’ve got to play the part

CHORUS

Be a clone and kiss conviction goodnight

Cloneliness is next to Godliness, right?

I’m grateful that they show the way

‘Cause I could never know the way

To serve him on my own

They told me that I’d fall away

Unless I followed what they say

Who needs the Bible anyway?

Their language it was new to me

But Christianese got through to me

Now I can speak it fluently

(CHORUS)

Send in the clones

Ah, I kind of wanted to tell my friends and people about it, you know

What?

You’re still a babe

You have to grow

Give it twenty years or so

‘Cause if you want to be one of his

Got to act like one of us

(CHORUS)

So now I see the whole design

My church is an assembly line

The parts are there

I’m feeling fine

I’ve learned enough to stay afloat

But not so much I rock the boat

I’m glad they shoved it down my throat

Everybody must get cloned
