lyrics

SUN'S COMING UP / WHAT A DAY

CITIZENS
Sun's coming up again, another day dawning;
people getting up again , ev'ryone yawning.
It's bound to be a good day,
we'll spend it our way, 2x.
Steeped in Sin.

What a day to tell a lie,
or to pull the wings from off a fly,
or help a rich old uncle die.
Just the day for drinking gin,
lovely day to fill with sin,
a good day to be crazy in.


HOLY GLORY BAND
What a day for saving sinners,
notching up another point,
doing well by doing good,
shaking up the joint.

What a way to make a living,
Marketing the master plan;
Sell salvation to the minds of unsuspecting man.

Oh we go from town to town,
And we really get around
But we never stay much longer than it takes to sing our song.
And out motto up to now,
Is to be speedier than thou.
And we thank the Lord for the world we're in,
We'd be unemployed if weren't for sin.
When you're traveling do gooders,
Folk don't get time to scoff.
If things get rough,
you simply just buzz off.

What a day for starting strife,
or cutting purses with a knife.
Or taking tea,
With someone else's wife.
A day for putting up your dukes.
Or giving your neighbor filthy looks.
A veritably perfect day
To cook the books.

CITIZENS & HOLY GLORY BAND

Sun's coming up again,         - what a day for saving sinners,
another day dawning;           - notching up another point,
People getting up again,       - Doing well by doing good,
Ev'ryone yawning.               - Shaking up the joint.
It's bound to be a good day,    - What a way to make a living
We'll spend it our way,         - Marketing the master plan,
We'll spend it our way,         - Selling Salvation
Steeped in sin.                 - to innocent man.  
We'll spend it our way,         - We'll spend it our way.
Steeped in,                     - Saving Sinners,  
Stepped in,                     - Saving sinners,  
steeped in,                     - Saving souls from
Sin.                            - Sin.
