lyrics

There’s been a falling out at St. Peter’s congregation
The choir-master stated his simple resignation
And it brought the choir
In front of all the people
Including the professor

It was falling out at St. Peter’s congregation hall
I’d remember more but I was only four feet tall
The Reverend stepped out
In all the choir-master’s shouts
And went to the washroom
With his microphone on

And with that the congregation was left confessing
They pretended not to notice, they pretended not to care
But all the children in the front pews
They knew the truth
All the children in the front pews knew the truth

There was a saddening up at St. Peter’s when the congregation left
All of us kids talked about it in Sunday school class
And we laughed the next day
At school in the washroom
And talked about what it was like to be
And talked about what it was like to be free
