The Sky Is Falling And I Want My Mommy

Jesus was a terrorist
Enemy of the state
That's what the Romans labeled him
So he was put to death


He died for his beliefs
What's changed today?


Today bible-thumping cannibals
Reap money from his name
Buy cable networks & power
With old ladies' checks


If Jesus saw Pat Robertson
What do you think he'd say?
Tax free the re-write our laws
And sick 'em on you
Women don't control their bodies
TV preachers do


Censor everything from bathing suits
To science books
From the schoolroom to the bedroom
They want our thoughts - or else


They treat us like the Romans
Used to treat the Christians
Even some church-going folks are scared


Modern catacombs of fear
Built with money, power, and threats
Rock 'n Roll is labeled porn
Sell a record, you're under arrest


Instead of fighting AIDS
They try to stop us having sex
They brag that they won't quit
Till they take dominion over our lives


Is freedom of speech such a terrorist act
Is spiritual peace such a satanic threat
Believe what you want
But we'll fight to keep
Our heads from being cemented in your sand
