The Lyrics
Satirical comment on the "Religious Right"PRELUDE: HARD ROCK INTRO
When the Christian Coalition prints up
So-called 'non-partisan' voter guides
Between the lines, read "G.O.P."
In the grip of the far religious right
CHORUS: The Fundamentally Self-Righteous Right
Giving true liberty-lovers fright
They could lay the First Amendment to rest
If your life or your faith they detest
Some 'born-again' conservatives act
Like they're the only friends of Jesus
Seems the Pharisees He did fight
Are back today proclaiming that their views alone are right
CHORUS 2: They're Fundamentally Self-Righteous Right
Giving true liberty-lovers fright
They could lay the First Amendment to rest
If your life or your faith they detest
(HARD ROCK BRIDGE)
It really takes a village to raise a child
African wisdom tell us
Gary Bauer says he must fight
That 'socialistic' message, as labelled by the Right
CHORUS 3: The Fundamentally Self-Righteous Right
Let all true liberty-lovers fight
'Cause they could lay the First Amendment to rest
If your life or your faith they detest
Your life or your faith they detest
So-called 'non-partisan' voter guides
Between the lines, read "G.O.P."
In the grip of the far religious right
CHORUS: The Fundamentally Self-Righteous Right
Giving true liberty-lovers fright
They could lay the First Amendment to rest
If your life or your faith they detest
Some 'born-again' conservatives act
Like they're the only friends of Jesus
Seems the Pharisees He did fight
Are back today proclaiming that their views alone are right
CHORUS 2: They're Fundamentally Self-Righteous Right
Giving true liberty-lovers fright
They could lay the First Amendment to rest
If your life or your faith they detest
(HARD ROCK BRIDGE)
It really takes a village to raise a child
African wisdom tell us
Gary Bauer says he must fight
That 'socialistic' message, as labelled by the Right
CHORUS 3: The Fundamentally Self-Righteous Right
Let all true liberty-lovers fight
'Cause they could lay the First Amendment to rest
If your life or your faith they detest
Your life or your faith they detest
