Song Lyrics

"I Want To Be A Clone"

by Steve Taylor
Album: Liver

I'd gone through so much other stuff that walking down the aisle was tough,
Now I know it's not enough - I want to be a clone,
I asked the Lord into my heart, they said that was the way to start,
Now you've got to play the part - I want to be a clone.

Be a clone and kiss conviction goodnight,
Cloneliness is next to godliness, right'
I'm grateful that they showed the way 'cause I could never know the way to serve him on my own - I want to be a clone.

They told me that I'd fall away unless I followed what they say...who needs the Bible anyway' - I want to be a clone,
Their language it was new to me, but Christian-ese got through to me; now I can speak it fluently - I want to be a clone.

Be a clone and kiss conviction goodnight,
Cloneliness is next to godliness, right'
I'm grateful that they showed the way 'cause I could never know the way to serve him on my own - I want to be a clone.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey I just kind of wanted to tell my friends and people about it, you know,"
What'!
You're still a babe, you'll have to grow,
Give it twenty years or so,
If you want to be one of his, you got to act like one of us.

Be a clone and kiss conviction goodnight,
Cloneliness is next to godliness, right'
I'm grateful that they showed the way 'cause I could never know the way to serve him on my own - I want to be a clone.

So now I see the whole design: my church is an assembly line; the parts are there, I'm feeling fine - I want to be a clone.
I've learned enough to stay afloat, but not so much I'd rock the boat,
I'm glad they shoved it down my throat - ahh.

Everybody must get cloned.
