Lyrics:
Johnny went down to Africa with a bible in his hands
Ready to save their souls with a cross around his neck
So he should be the savior for the sinners and godless
The mission was to lead them to the promised holy land
Johnny came down to Africa with a bible in his hands
Not having any masterplan – just a loud and clear „ Amen“
He gathered people around him to tell them stories they`ve never heard
Stories from hell and heaven and a thing called absolution
If you bring religion to the people, you better ask them twice
Maybe they have a better life without your smart advice
So let them find their own way and bring your own church in order first
So bring religion to the people and wait for the final burst
Johnny`s never been here before, never heard `bout the jungle law
Showering people with gifts from home, but „bushmen“ don`t need a mobile phone
He brought them coke ‘n candies and flat screen TVs
Just a few things that he forgot – like drugs and electricity
If you bring religion to the people, you better ask them twice
Maybe they have a better life without your smart advice
So let them find their own way and bring your own church in order first
So bring religion to the people and wait for the final burst
People down here in Africa trusted in Johnny’s words
They banished their traditions and built a christian church
It did not go unnoticed and too much envy crept in
The clans were killing each other but Johnny was not there anymore
Don`t bring religion to the people – `cause they don`t need it so bad
They are blessed with themselves and what they already have
You wanna practice the word of god – do it silently at home
`cause if people wanna learn about – they`ll ask you anyway
