This was

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,
No word of God must reach this
crowd.
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
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 |
