Congregation, settle in your seats. | |
The Reverend Front Aloud is on the mic and about to speak. | |
I'm about to freak you out, make you shiver in the pew | |
while I'm delivering to you my sermon and divinity ensues, | |
brought by the one true God. It's a fact: | |
anybody else who ever had a God, their God's wack. | |
We ain't got to worry about ‘em; we picked the right horse. | |
You're in the right house of worship (of course), | |
and forces are gathering out in the world | |
to diminish our faith in ways radical and thorough, | |
to discourage us from loving anything that's immaterial, | |
to tempt our children with ever fruitier cereal, | |
and worst of all, to call us idiots while they do it. | |
My congregation, listen; I'm about to walk you through it. | |
We're going to take the nation back from the heathens that's within it. | |
We're gonna get the most egregious of the atheists imprisoned, | |
cause a schism while we're at it, but emerge on top, | |
and once we've purified our ranks we won't stop — | |
we'll purify your minds of what's illegitimately thought. | |
It's not to be a battle indiscriminately fought, | |
but an orchestrated effort, and I'm gonna need you to commit. | |
Might take a couple generations for this deviltry to quit. | |
Start with the kids — in fact, they get distracted from the Lord — | |
so I'd like you to write a couple letters to your school board. | |
Do you, do you really believe | |
that we were nothing but them monkeys swinging up in the trees? | |
Don't it seem a little likelier that Adam and Eve | |
did a lot of humping, and that was the origin of the species? | |
And what has this so-called science ever done for us | |
but trumpeted that when ashes go to ashes & dust to dust, | |
despite the fuss of living, energy gets conserved. | |
Denying the weight of the soul of a man: this is ill deserved. | |
This is still the curse of Copernicus that we suffer. | |
Secular thought ought not to overflow its buffer | |
and run roughshod through the minds of you, the population. | |
Heretics such as Dawkins and Sagan overstep their station | |
to say that what we see and what we believe should be confluent. | |
Look to your Reverend to end apostasy — that's what I'm doing! | |
Look to your Holy Book to light the way; that is its purpose. | |
Open it up and you'll find Eden ‘fore you even scratch the surface. | |
And sure, this should be mirrored in the textbooks verbatim | |
but I'm not in a position yet to issue ultimatum. | |
So I lay down my scheme: we'll make it seem as though creation | |
isn't anything we'd like to interject to education. | |
We'll wrangle up the language: science, data, theorem, | |
the irreducible complexity of the ears we use to hear ‘em | |
gnashing teeth and wailing from Kansas to PA. | |
Yes, my flock, I talk of futures not imminent but underway. | |
Already established an Institute for Discovery. | |
Discovered that Darwin is dead with outlook grim for recovery. | |
Schoolmarms will soon say that he burns in a fiery sea. | |
Think how much like paradise that's gonna be. |
