By Steve Taylor. Copyright 1982 birdwing music/cherry lane music.
transposed by Craig and Terry Barnes.
D, Eb, E, F, Eb, D (repeat 4 times on lead guitar.)
Bb F
I'd gone through so much other stuff
Ab Eb
that walking down the aisle was tough,
Gb Db Bb
but now I know it's not enough, I want to be a clone.
Bb F
I asked the lord into my heart,
Ab Eb
they said that was the way to start,
Gb Db Bb
but now you've got to play the part. I want to be a clone.
Eb Bb
Eb Bb
Clonliness is next to Godliness, right?
Eb D
I'm greatful that they showed the way,
Db C
Cause I could never know the way,
B Bb
To serve him on my own, I want to be a clone.
Bb F
They told me that I'd fall away,
Ab Eb
unless I follow what they say,
Gb Db Bb
Who needs the bible anyway? I want to be a clone.
Bb F
Their language it was new to me,
Ab Eb
but christianese got through to me,
Gb Db Bb
now I can speak it fluently. I want to be a clone.
Repeat Chorus.
Bb
Ah, I kind of wanted to tell my friends and people
about him, you know? WHAT?!!!!!
Eb Bb
You're still a babe, you have to grow,
C Db
give it twenty years or so,
D Eb
Cause if you want to be one of his,
E F
you gotta act like one of us!
Chorus.
Bb F
So now I see the whole design,
Ab Eb
my church is an assembly line,
Gb Db Bb
the parts are there, I'm feeling fine, I want to be a clone.
Bb F
I've learned enough to stay afloat,
Ab Eb
but not so much I rock the boat,
Gb Db
I'm glad they shoved him down my throat.
Bb
I want to be a clone.
Everybody must get cloned!
