When Church and State
went on a date
it got quite late
…oh too late
When their eyes met
it felt like fate
They thought it great,
their new estate
Church and State
with merch and hate
The merch is bait
They smirch and grate
They perch and search
and lurch and mate
Church and State
Church and State
When Church and State
go on a date
don’t celebrate
It means an ecclesiastical power with a monopoly on legitimized violence,
using it to coerce and compel conscience.
