Liner Notes

Here I go again with another protest song. But this one is disguised as a cheesy kiddie song! I don't want to spoil the punchline by saying too much here, so just click on the video and (hopefully) enjoy it!

Lyrics

Intro [spoken]:
Hey guys! I would love to introduce you to a real cool dude! His name is Jesus, and he lived 2,000 years ago! Now, Jesus said a lot of REALLY cool things. But you know what? There are also a lot of things that...well...Jesus didn't fucking say.

Verse 1
Jesus didn't say that gay people are bad.
Jesus didn't say dark skin offends his Dad.
Jesus didn't say that poor people are lazy.
Jesus didn't say that trans people are crazy.
Jesus didn't say any of that shit,
But you're out there getting rich off of spouting it!
Tsk, tsk, tsk!

Chorus
You say that you speak in the Lord's name,
But hypocrisy is your stock in trade.
You say that you follow Jesus Christ
While you're undermining fundamental rights
For your own gain, and that ain't right!

[Spoken]
So, let's talk about some of that things that Jesus really did say. Shall we?

Verse 2
Jesus really did say that it's easier for
A camel to pass through a needle's eye before
A rich man can make his way through Heaven's gate.
Yet you horde all your wealth and claim it makes you great.
Jesus would have toppled tables and thrown you out,
Yet you wrap yourself in His name to get more clout.
Tsk, tsk, tsk!

Chorus
You say that you speak in the Lord's name,
But hypocrisy is your stock in trade.
You say that you follow Jesus Christ
While you're undermining fundamental rights
For your own gain, and that ain't right!

Bridge [spoken]:
So, if your Jesus is really real, I wonder how it's gonna feel when he looks you dead in the eye and says, "I was hungry, and you said, 'Get a job!' I was sick, and you denied my claim. I was homeless, and you rounded me up because I made your city look less pretty. I was a stranger in your land, afraid for my life, and you started chanting, 'Mass deportation now!' Do you remember all that? I hope so, because every time you said that to the least of my people, you said it STRAIGHT TO MY FACE."

Chorus
You say that you speak in the Lord's name,
But hypocrisy is your stock in trade.
You say that you follow Jesus Christ
While you're undermining fundamental rights
For your own gain, and that ain't right!
That ain't right!
