[Verse 1]

Well, I was born an original sinner

I was born from original sin

And if I had a dollar bill for all the things I've done

There'd be a mountain of money piled up to my chin, hey!

[Verse 2]

My mother told me good, my mother told me strong

She said, be true to yourself and you can't go wrong

But there's just one thing that you must understand

You can fool with your brother

[Chorus]

But don't mess with a missionary man

Don't mess with a missionary man

[Verse 3]

Oh, the missionary man, he's got God on his side

He's got the saints and apostles backing up from behind

Black eyed looks from those Bible books

He's a man with a mission, got a serious mind

There was a woman in the jungle and a monkey on a tree

The missionary man, he was following me

He said, "Stop what you're doing? Get down upon your knees!"

"I've a message for you that you better believe"

[Verse 4]

Oh, yeah! Hey! Hey! Oh!

Well I was born an original sinner

I was born from original sin

And if I had a dollar bill for all the things I've done

There'd be a mountain of money

[Chorus]

Don't mess with a missionary man

Missionary man

Don't mess with a missionary man

Missionary man

The lead single from Revenge in North America, the lyrics of this song stemmed from a poem written by Annie Lennox, and the titular Missionary Man is a stand-in for, according to Lennox herself, “a great deal of people in the media, in the form of politicians or religious speakers or philosophical people, people who are generally trying to have some power over other people…”

“Missionary Man” is the only Eurythmics track to win a Grammy Award, for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocal. The music video was also nominated for five VMAs at the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards.

Joniece Jamison sings backing vocals.

are you worried about being perceived as a poser in your local punk scene? My biggest tip is to not shove yourself into the little box of what you think a punk should be. The culture of punk should be diverse, that’s what makes it beautiful. You want to go to a show wearing all pink and cute dresses? fucking go for it!!! rock it! if anyone says anything to you about “not being punk enough” they are full of bullshit and are definitely projecting their insecurities onto you.
