REAL MUSIC (about politics and culture)

A rejection of my indoctrination.

All the Jesus Freaks in Texas

Down in Texas, they tell me that I'm going to Hell,
'Cause I no longer think that the Bible is the word of the Lord.
I don't bow my head anymore.
I'm not a Christian anymore.
I'm completely pro-abortion, and they don't like that.

Down in Texas, they tell me I'm away from the Lord.
'Cause I quit being such a good little Southern Baptist boy.
I don't go to church anymore.
I don't "witness" anymore.
I'm completely pro-evolution, and they don't like that.

All the Jesus freaks in Texas, they all love me, so I'm told.
All the Jesus freaks in Texas, will torment me 'til I'm old.
All the Jesus freaks in Texas, want me to buy their pot of gold.
All the Jesus freaks in Texas, won't bring me back into the fold.

Down in Texas, they tell me that I'm such a big sinner
Because I'd rather smoke dope and play rock and roll music.
I don't feel guilty anymore.
I don't pass judgment anymore.
I'm completely pro-fornication, and they don't like that.

Down in Texas, they tell me that the Lord is my shepherd
'Cause if I follow him, you know, I won't have to worry 'bout my own life.
But I'm not a sheep anymore,
And I'm not in the "Army of the Lord."
I'm completely pro-self determination, and they don't like that.

All the Jesus freaks in Texas, they all love me, so I'm told.
All the Jesus freaks in Texas, will torment me 'til I'm old.
All the Jesus freaks in Texas, want me to buy their pot of gold.
All the Jesus freaks in Texas, won't bring me back into the fold.
