If I Had a Steeple

CEE

The hamlets of New England
Should shove it up their ass
Here’s my white church!
My leghorn pullet church
Here’s my faith based on nothing less
Than a place no one’s prayed in for real
Since President Warren Harding
Pointed fearfully to the corner and gasped,
“Wh-whoooo arre Theeaaayy?!”
Ghost churches, not even swept
They do sweep the walks out front
One guy does
As the tourists roll by
Phonecams lifted, holy hands
Middle class bullshit conversation
That sounds like tongues,
The white New England empty churches
Well, not empty
Huge stereo systems, inside
Blasting Christmas services on 78 shellac
Dead old singing
From just before
“They” came for Warren Gamaliel Harding
