Barry McGuire - Denomination Blues

I want to tell you people
It's a natural fact
Every man don't understand
The Bible alike

And that's all
I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus
I tell you, that's all

The denominations have
No right to fight
They all oughta go on
And treat each other right

And that's all
I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus
I tell you, that's all

It's right to stand together
Wrong to stand apart
But none shall enter heaven
But the pure in heart

And that's all
I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus
I tell you, that's all

Well the primitive Baptists
They believe
That you can't go to heaven
Unless you wash your feet

And that's all
I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus
I tell you, that's all

Well the African Methodists
They believe the same
Cause they know a denomination
Ain't a thing but a name

And that's all
I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus
I tell you, that's all

You can go to your college
You can go to your school
But if you ain't got Jesus
You's an educated fool

And that's all
I tell you that's all
But you better have Jesus
I tell you, that's all
