Lyrics

Since they banned the morning prayer in schoo, l it won't be but a breeze
'Til you can't say God bless you when you hear somebody sneeze
How much longer will it be until some joker has the crust
To remove from U.S. currency, the words "In God We Trust"?

What's this world a-coming to?
What's this world a-coming to?
I don't know, so, I'm asking you
What's this world a-coming to?

Who can save us, Brother Davis? What in sam-hill will we do?
I got a line from Sister Klein and Sisters worried too
She's been stewing over stories, she's been reading in the press
Will they take out "Under God" from Lincoln's Gettysburg address?

What's this world a-coming to?
What's this world a-coming to?
I don't know, so, I'm asking you
What's this world a-coming to?

There are folks without a creed who'd love to bury 'neath the sun
Those words in Pledge allegiance, One Nation Under God
Lord forgive them, oh forgive them, for they know not what they do
When they ban the morning prayer in school to satisfy the few

What's this world a-coming to?
What's this world a-coming to?
I don't know, so, I'm asking you
What's this world a-coming to?

What's this world a-coming to?
What's this world a-coming to?
I don't know
