Now I sit me down in school,
Where praying is against the
rule.
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very
odd.
If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of
Rights
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter
now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense;
it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is
precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a
public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence
alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.
We're
allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues
and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the
Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And
the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's "inappropriate" to teach right
from wrong,
We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.
We can
get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and
totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
It's scary
here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So,
Lord, this silent plea I make
Should I be shot;
My soul please
take!
Amen
