The Rapture by The Haymarket Squares Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I heard a preacher telling stories
Of the rapture of the church
When Jesus will take his followers to heaven
And all the Christians disappear from Earth
I didn’t believe a word he said
But how I wish it were true
And now it’s become a fantasy of mine
And if it happens this is what we’ll do
[Chorus]
There will be dancing in the streets
When all the Christians disappear
Maybe this country will move on
From centuries of ignorance and fear
Freedom will finally come to this land
Hallеlujah, the awakening is herе
Gravity’s reversed for the religiously perverse
When all the Christians disappear
[Verse 2]
There are parts of the Bible with which I do agree
Like loving your neighbor and doing unto others
Don’t kill, don’t lie and love your enemies
But the rest of it is man’s oppressive bullshit
Written out of ignorance and greed
But if all the believers get sucked into outer space
I guess that would be alright with me
[Chorus]
There will be dancing in the streets
When all the Christians disappear
Maybe this country will move on
From centuries of ignorance and fear
Freedom will finally come to this land
Hallelujah, the awakening is here
Gravity’s reversed for the religiously perverse
When all the Christians disappear
[Verse 3]
I’m a normal thinking person
So I’m not buying what you have to sell
If I have to be like you to get to heaven
Then you and god can send me straight to hell
[Chorus]
There will be dancing in the streets
When all the Christians disappear
Maybe this country will move on
From centuries of ignorance and fear
Freedom will finally come to this land
Hallelujah, the awakening is here
Gravity’s reversed for the religiously perverse
When all the Christians disappear
[Outro]
The religiously perverse have been repelled by the earth
When all the Christians disappear
I heard a preacher telling stories
Of the rapture of the church
When Jesus will take his followers to heaven
And all the Christians disappear from Earth
I didn’t believe a word he said
But how I wish it were true
And now it’s become a fantasy of mine
And if it happens this is what we’ll do
[Chorus]
There will be dancing in the streets
When all the Christians disappear
Maybe this country will move on
From centuries of ignorance and fear
Freedom will finally come to this land
Hallеlujah, the awakening is herе
Gravity’s reversed for the religiously perverse
When all the Christians disappear
[Verse 2]
There are parts of the Bible with which I do agree
Like loving your neighbor and doing unto others
Don’t kill, don’t lie and love your enemies
But the rest of it is man’s oppressive bullshit
Written out of ignorance and greed
But if all the believers get sucked into outer space
I guess that would be alright with me
[Chorus]
There will be dancing in the streets
When all the Christians disappear
Maybe this country will move on
From centuries of ignorance and fear
Freedom will finally come to this land
Hallelujah, the awakening is here
Gravity’s reversed for the religiously perverse
When all the Christians disappear
[Verse 3]

Maybe this country will move on
From centuries of ignorance and fear
Freedom will finally come to this land
Hallelujah, the awakening is here
Gravity’s reversed for the religiously perverse
When all the Christians disappear
[Outro]
The religiously perverse have been repelled by the earth
When all the Christians disappear
