[Verse 1]
Please Mr. Gunman
Before you go out on your spree
Please Mr. Gunman
I'd like to make a humble request
Before you kill us, dead forever
Please Mr. Gunman, consider our after-life

[Chorus]
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church

[Verse 2]
At the mall
We'll consume our material things
In our school
We're learning evolution
Inside the nightclub, we are drunk with pleasure

[Bridge]
At church on Sunday
We pray for forgiveness
At church on Sunday
We pray for forgiveness
In church on Sunday
We're ready to go to heaven
[Chorus]
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church

[Guitar Solo]
Please Mr. Gunman
Since there's no stopping you
Please Mr. Gunman
Don't be an inconsiderate prick

[Chorus]
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church
We'd rather die in church
Nearer my God, to thee
