Dm C Dm Down with sex and sin, C Dm C Dm Down with pot, heroin. C Dm Down with pornography, Down with lust. C Dm C Gm Down with vice lechery and debauchery. Chorus: D G D We are the new centurians, Bm G Shepherds of the Nation. D G D We'll keep on our guard A# F For sin and degradation. C F We are the national, guard Am F Against filth and depravity, Am F Perversion and vulgarity, Am F Homosexuality. Dm F C Keep it clean. Down with nudity, Breasts that are bare and pubic hair. We are here to cleanse humanity From the man in the raincoat's Pale faced glare. So sodomites beware. Chorus C G I visualise a day when people will be free Gm F From evils like perversion and pornography. Fm C We'll cast out Satan and we'll set the sinners free, A# F C So people of the nation unite. Put all the pervs in jail, Bring back the birch, and the cat of nine tails. Bring back corporal punishment Bring back the stocks And the axeman's block. Let righteousness prevail. Down with nudity and hard core magazines. We'll bring religion back And keep our country clean. Keep it clean.
