Song Lyrics

"I Want To Be A Clone"

by Steve Taylor
Album: Now The Truth Can Be Told - Disc 1

I'd gone through so much other stuff that walking down the aisle was tough, but 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; but 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.

(If you want to be one of his, you got to act like one of us)
(If you want to be one of his, you got to act like one of us)
Send in the clones.

"Ah, I kind of wanted to tell my friends and people about it, you know,"
What'
You're still a babe, you have to grow,
Give it twenty years or so, 'cause 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 - I want to be a clone.

Everybody must get cloned.
