Revisionary Blues

 

I've got the blues now

my clearance was red

my laptop was subpoenaed

and turned over to the feds

your guilt is a given

if they’re looking for drugs

when I met the task force

they acted just like thugs

 

it's a revisionary era

the church is mating with the state

intolerance is called for

because heaven will not wait

 

I've paid my dues now

I want to relax

better check out statutes

on unnatural acts

my neighbors are getting nervous

my kids could turn me in

I could be convicted

of first degree sin..

 

it's a revisionary era

the church is mating with the state

intolerance is called for

because heaven will not wait

 

the red scare of the fifties

the backlash of today

the reformers know what's best for me

and how I'll have to pay

they'll try to hypnotize me

with slogans and cheap lies

alarming "facts" with no support

just look into their eyes

 

it's a revisionary era

the church is mating with the state

intolerance is called for

for heaven you can hate
