Jesusland Part 3

You might be wondering why the subject is named JESUSLAND. That’s the name of a song of a band named NOFX. The first time I heard that song I got shocked, sad and angry with the author. Than I start listening to the song, not as a Christian that is readying blasphemous lyrics, but as a Christian that's taking that as a wake up call. That's how our Post Modern society views us. They don't see the light in us, but our humanly flash.
Anyway. Read these lyrics and reflect. Don't blame the author, but reflect if people see you, your church, and your actions like this.
Pay attention to the fact that the author never blames God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit for anything. His angst is against us, God's people. Don't write me back saying that the reason is because he's lost, possessed, biased or liberal. Think on why he feels so beaten by us.
anyway, here it is:

"Leaving Jesusland"

We call the heartland not very smart land, IQ's are very low but threat levels are high
They got a mandate, they don't want man-dates, they got so many hates and people to despise

In the dust bowl, cerebral black hole, the average weight is well over 200 pounds
I hate to generalize, but have you seen the thighs, most haven't seen their genitalia in a while

Maybe that's why they're so scared of us
We've concerns other than fear and hunger pangs

Queers, transgends, and lesbians, vegans and vegetarians
All you brownish red and yellow ones come and join us on the coast

No longer svelte, they gotta punch new holes in the Bible belt
They've blown out the fire under the melting pot, the red blood of America is starting to clot
No compromise, no sight through others' eyes, they're just flies spreading pieces of shit
You gotta emigrate, stop living in hate, what makes this country great is dwelling on either side

They don't want visitors in Jesusland
They want life canned and bland in the fatherland

We want people with college degrees, drug use experience and STD's
People with open-minded philosophies, come hug California trees
Cultural revolution now, neo-conservatives run outta town
We're gonna burn Orange County down,
And then we're off to Riverside, Bakersfield and Fresno too, then we're coming after you

The fear stricken, born again Christian, they got a vision a homogenized state
Textbook decline, intelligent design
They got Bill Nye on the list to execrate

They don't want visitors in Jesusland
They want life canned and bland in the fatherland

Punk Rockers and emo kids, people doing things the church forbids
Buddhists, agnostics, and atheists we're moving out of jesusland
Art students and thespians, excluding country, all the musicians
We want all hookers and comedians, nihilists are welcome too

No longer svelte, they gotta punch new holes in the Bible belt.



Now reflect about yourself. I pray to God that people don't see me like that.
