If Our Hearts Ain't in It

Go to church seven days a week
Read the Bible three hours a day
Say a thousand Hail Mary's
Rush to confession every time we stray

We can fall down on our knees
And call the Archangels by name
But if our hearts ain't in it
Ain't nothin' much is gonna change

Ask forgiveness for all our sins
And vow to change our ways
Pledge money to the poor and homeless
For all we have, give thanks and praise

We can fall down on our knees
Shout, "Hallelujah, my soul is saved"
But if our hearts ain't in it
Ain't nothin' much is gonna change

Sometimes, when I say, "I forgive you"
Lord knows, I'm not ready for that
In my mind, you're still wrong, and I'm right
In my heart, I'm still holdin' back, yeah

Think you're right, church

Go to church seven days a week
Quote Scripture with everything we say
Be baptized in a river
Weep an' moan every time we pray

Now, we can fall down on our knees
Say, "Thank you, Jesus" again and again
Oh, no
But if our hearts ain't in it
People, you know, ain't nothing much is gonna change
Oh, no
Ain't nothin' much is gonna change
