as one homophobic bishop said to another
it’s the truth we hate
prejudice we must defend at all costs
human life means nothing
death is nothing at all
after all

as one homophobic bishop said to another
crazy crazy world
crazy crazy times
god has thrown the chairs into the fireplace
we cannot let him
we must stop him

as one homophobic bishop said to another
all is lost
we cannot exist
if we cannot condemn
it’s the end of the world as we know it
and we don’t feel fine.

as one homophobic bishop said to another
let’s talk about other things
my dreams disturb me
and where the spirit leads
I will not follow
I cannot blow where it wills

as one homophobic bishop said to another
it was so much simpler when we were feared
and god was restrained
in chains of our making
people cowered before us
their entrails on the floor

as one homophobic bishop said to another
real reformation has begun
unless we stop it
the love of God will win
open your bible
leviticus will do
