Now  I sit me down in school

Where praying is against the  rule

For this great nation under God

Finds  mention of Him very odd.

If Scripture now the class  recites,

It violates the Bill of Rights.

And  anytime my head I bow

Becomes a Federal matter  now.

Our hair can be purple, orange or green,

That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.

The law is  specific, the law is precise.

Prayers spoken aloud are a  serious vice.

For praying in a public hall

Might offend someone with no faith at all.

In silence alone  we must meditate,

God's name is prohibited by the  state.

We're allowed to cuss and dress like  freaks,

And pierce our noses, tongues and  cheeks.

They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the  Bible.

To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,

And the 'unwed daddy,'  our Senior King.

It's "inappropriate" to teach right from  wrong,

We're taught that such "judgments" do not  belong.

We can get our condoms and birth  controls,

Study witchcraft, vampires and totem  poles.

But the Ten Commandments are not  allowed,

No word of God must reach this crowd.

It's scary here I must confess,

When chaos reigns the  school's a mess.

So, Lord, this silent plea I  make:

Should I be shot;

My soul please  take!

Amen
