Teaching Survival
Teaching survival on the 700 club
Hear someone saying
Jesus wears a vest
Have to teach the kids
How to duck and run
Are you fucking serious
Hiding behind the Bible
Instead of addressing
Our gun problem
So now religion is teaching gun violence
Or hiding under desks
Instead of addressing
The real nut of our times
If I have to teach my kid
To take precautions
Just because of gun violence
Seems like I lost before I began
How about tackling the
Real problem
Instead of hiding behind Jesus
Thumping Bible now a gun
Never say a word to them
About what’s around the corner
Want them to live their
Childhood experience
Putting ghosts and demons on them
Seems so fucking wrong
So now I have to fight
On many fronts
God and government
Just to tuck in and say sweet
Dreams to them
