Honey Cone - Sunday Morning People lyrics

rate me

(R. Dunbar)

Sunday morning people,

Better listen to me (You better take heed)

You go to church on Sunday,

Hate your neighbor all week (Sunday morning people)

You can pray as loud as you can, now

(Sunday morning people)

Turn your back on your fellow man, now

You swear you're on the level

Then you shake hands with the devil

You got to help your brothers

Seven days a week

If peace and happiness is what you see

Sunday morning people

Practice what you preach

You can't go to church on Sunday

And hate your neighbor all week

You'll know the man upstairs is watching you

(Somebody's watching)

So, you call yourself and do things you don't wanna do

Like sharing with the poor

At the church door

'Cause every Sunday morning

You asked Him to forgive

But you go on saying, "Heaven, are you listening?"

Sunday morning people, whoo!

Sunday morning people, better listen to me

(You better take heed)

You go to church on Sunday,

Hate your neighbor all week

Let me tell you now

We were trying to get through the pearly gates

But for most of us, it's already too late

When your head starts to falter,

You head straight for the alter

Sunday morning people

It's better than you think (better than you think)

You can't go to church on Sunday

And hate your neighbor all week

Sunday morning people

Practice what you preach (practice what you preach)

You can't go to church on Sunday

And hate your neighbor all week

Oh, Sunday morning people

Sunday morning people

Practice what you preach

Sunday morning people

Practice what you preach

Sunday morning people

Practice what you preach

Sunday morning people

Practice what you preach
