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
