Untitled (Jesus loves all the f-a-g-gots)
Verse 1
Jesus loves all the f-a-g-gots
From Cairo to San Francisco
He'll reach out and pull you through
The perversity of your mind
And wrap his arms around you
Like a father embraces his child
With strength and a deep sense of protection
He never wants to see you cry
Doubt like a bed that rocks in the night
While you're trying to sleep
Doesn't stop or reduce the intensity of the dilemma
It bites and it tugs
Leaving no clear idea of where this may lead to
Verse 2
Out of pages, out of mouths
You're the source of controversy
Like a needle weaving tales of seduction and betrayal
You're a victim and a villain all at once
Your eyes never lie
So we fixate on them
Knowing all that you are is our mandate
A wink, a stare, and a preference for all things bare
Is how your true nature will be revealed
In a climate of fear and fascination
You're in the spotlight
Whether you like it or not
Verse 3
Bold and brazen like there's no care in the world
You air your grievances in public spaces
With speeches and signs carefully crafted for maximum exposure
Days of loneliness and fear are in the rear view mirror
As you focus on victory
But not all have bitten the fruit of liberation
So they live half lives
In accordance with the social order
Forever a caterpillar and never a butterfly
Chorus
There are those who tell you to practice safe religion
To protect yourself from the world
But like everything in life, nothing is guaranteed
You can chant and you can pray
Even three times a day
To cleanse your heart of indecent desire
And not become infected with shame and despair
