Preachin' Christian Poem by Ramona Thompson

Rewrite of the classic song, Sister Christian

Preachin' Christian, oh has the time finally come?
Are you finally going to go away?
Leave me alone, ok?
Quit always trying to tell me
Where my soul will be goin'
I know what I want and I've looking for
You know this boy don't wanna hang around praying with you
It's true

Refrain

Your big mouth is off and running
Tell me, Mister Uptight
What do you think gives you the right?
To be telling me how I should be living my life tonight

Jesus, you know I had to grow up fast
Too darn fast
Some would say
Now I'm just too numb and jaded to care
All I wanna do is play
Preachin' Christian, just stay the hell outta my life
Gotta give it up
Cos the time to save my soul is so past due
It won't do any good to keep on tryin'
Cos I'm the devil's son now
Sad but true
Sad but true, yeah!

Your big mouth is off and running
Tell me
What do you think gives you the right?
To set me in your sights
And pester me all through the night

Your big mouth is off and running
Tell me, Mister Uptight
What do you think gives you the right?
To be telling me how I should be living my life tonight

Your big mouth is off and running
Tell me, Mister Uptight
What do you think gives you the right?
To be telling me how I should be living my life tonight

Preachin' Christian, oh has the time finally come?
Are you finally gonna go away?
I really wish you would just leave me alone, ok?
Still your big mouth is off and running
Yeah, running
