Holy RollerHoly Roller is a term used to mock members of fundamentalist Christian sects, notably Pentecostal, who will fall to the floor and roll around while under the "Spirit of the Lord". The Holly Roller was a game-winning play in a football game between the San Diego Chargers and the Oakland Raiders. In 1975, the Scottish Rock and Roll band, Nazareth, recorded a popular song with the title "Holy Roller" whose lyrics are a reference to these Christian fundamentalists. Lyrics: - Holy roller, lookin' down
- Where you think you know
- All the answers
- Arrogance and pride....are sin
- Better look to your own chances
- CHORUS:
- Holy roller can you save your own soul
- Can you save your own soul
- Holy roller
- Standin' up for Jesus
- That's your thing
- But you're standin' on peoples hearts
- Charity is a virtue
- To be praised
- Better get back on... Jesus' track
- CHORUS:
- Holy roller, practice what you preach
- Heaven, it's still within your reach
- Holy roller, don't you judge
- What you think is goin' wrong
- CHORUS: (2x)
