We are the new centurians,

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.
