Rock Redemption: Unveiling the Soulful Truths in Katye Kellye's Church of Rock and Roll
Lyrics
You ask me to believe in things I can’t even see
You are asking me to believe in things that are not visible or evident.
But what they call faith seems like a Ponzi scheme to me
The concept of faith seems like a fraudulent investment scheme to me.
Say send us all your money and your soul we’ll redeem
Religious leaders request money and promise salvation for both your money and soul.
Reverend ‘s got a Lear Jet but you’re on public relief
The religious leader has a luxurious jet, while you struggle on public assistance.
That’s why I saved my soul at the church of rock and roll.
I find salvation in the Church of Rock and Roll.
Man, the rockin’ beat really makes me go
The energetic rhythm of rock music excites me.
The choir is really rockin’- takes me higher and higher
The choir in rock music elevates my spirits.
Remember one man’s apostate’s another’s messiah. 
People interpret religious figures differently; what one sees as an apostate, another sees as a messiah.
Your faith’s supposed to be about love and charity
Faith should be about love and charity, but it seems exclusive to those who conform.
But not for those who don’t conform or believe differently
Rock concerts embrace diversity and non-conformity, contrasting with exclusive religious views.
You should come down to a rock show and see what I mean
Suggesting the transformative experience of attending a rock show.
Some brothers share “burnt offerings”, get you feeling good for free.
Some people find spiritual solace in rock music without the need for traditional offerings.
You tell me you wanna talk about transfiguration
A desire to discuss transformation or change.
Every night a rock tour spreads it ‘cross the nation
Rock tours spread a sense of transformation across the nation.
In this place tomorrow they’ll be playing hoc-key -
Tomorrow the venue may host hockey, but tonight it's a sacred space with a prominent organ (B3).
But tonight it’s a cathedral, can’t you hear that B3
Rock and roll provides a home for everyone, irrespective of religious doctrines.
In rock and roll you’ll find a home whoever you may be
Indifference towards religious doctrines, creeds, or formal religious rituals in rock and roll.
Don’t care about your synod, creed, or your doxology
Rock and roll offers salvation without the bureaucracy of a tax-exempt status (501(C)3).
Rock and roll’ll save you without a 501(C)3
Spiritual symbols and artifacts are available at the merchandise table.
Just come to the merch table for your iconography
Reiteration of finding salvation in the Church of Rock and Roll.
That’s why I saved my soul at the church of rock and roll.
The energetic rhythm of rock music excites me (repeated).
Man, the rockin’ beat really makes me go
The choir in rock music elevates my spirits (repeated).
The choir is really rockin’- takes me higher and higher
People interpret religious figures differently; what one sees as an apostate, another sees as a messiah (repeated).
Remember one man’s apostate’s another’s messiah
Your soul deflects responsibility when it comes to contributing money.
Your soul’s passing the buck when it’s ‘bout passin’ the plate
Mere financial contributions won't guarantee entry to heaven.
Gonna take more than that to pass the pearly gates
Rock and roll promotes peace, love, and understanding without imposing strict demands.
Rock and roll’s about peace, love and understanding
Rock and roll welcomes individuals as they are, without stringent requirements.
So just come as you are - we’re never too demanding
An urging to save one's soul by embracing the spirit of rock and roll.
C’mon and save your soul
Reiteration of the call to save one's soul through the Church of Rock and Roll.
C’mon and save your soul
-C’mon and save your soul - at the church of rock and roll
Final call to save one's soul at the Church of Rock and Roll.
