God in Drag

Lyrics

You've heard it said Oh, god spoke words if you can read 'em With his very breath he breathed 'em And only righteous men received 'em Till all at once he just stopped speaking Divine decree on every page Without error or mistake Slavery, murder, incest, rape For everything a time and place Don't trust yourself, just turn the page You know it takes the eyes of faith To really know what's what You've heard it said Oh, god so loves but he'll reject you If you so choose he will respect you And for all time, he'll disconnect you From his love and those who've left you And in the skies live on without you While the devil's flames surround you In the place that he designed to For eternity remind you Of the choice that's now behind you Either way, I bet you'll break a sweat You've heard it said Oh, by the time you're born oh, it's too late You don't even get a say There's free will but not today 'Cause great granddad has sealed your fate When he believed a talkin' snake Who deceived his perfect mate He just took the fruit and ate And one bad apple's all it takes When all humanity's at stake Even just a little taste Poisons the very root Oh, but I say unto you, you're beautiful & free And you've heard it said Oh, god made eve from adam's rib To help him out and raise his kids So he could rule while she submits And take the blame for what he did And that's the way that god designed it Then the way the state defined it Now the church won't recognize it If you should need to reassign it 'Cause you're just so sick of hiding Somewhere between husbands, wives Zeros & ones You've heard it said God gave up his only son To suffer and die for what you've done Like lambs for a millennium Oh, he hates the bullet but loves the gun And violence is the holy way If you don't call out his only name Whether sinner or a saint You'll be held just outside the gate So, love your neighbor everyday But use the wrong words when you pray And you'll be without excuse Oh, but I say unto you, you're beautiful & free Such a lovely melody If you're really listening You can hear me singing All wrapped up in righteous rags Baby, you're like god in drag Dressed up like the real thing
