“You’re offended at the wrong thing, brother- And you’re burning all your bridges with hate You fell asleep while Jesus stayed up weeping While the Pharisees were plotting our fate Yesterday was peaceful Now your verses are deceitful Now your congregation’s raiding the store It’s Mutiny on the Beagle More affluence for the Eagle When you’re out of food You’ll just eat the poor Hiding behind, hiding behind your masks While the supplies, while the supplies will last Did you waste your prayers protecting snipers While you hoarded all the Lysol and diapers? Save some profits for your cadre of vipers Because your God only favors survivors If you vote to stop abortions Damn the pregnant girls and orphans Blame your decline on the LGBTQ Offer platitudes not portions Then your rancor is your fortune And your poison is what’s poisoning you Hiding behind, hiding behind your masks While the supplies, while the supplies will last You said “we all deserve this” For not forcing kids to pray- While your party loots the earth And you tell us “Jesus saves” You’re ignoring half the gospel Wearing clothing made by slaves You never “rendered unto Caesar” Now you, now you fear the fever Fear the bottom dropping out of your stocks- You voted for the devil Let that narcissist embezzle Put the hen-house in the mouth of the FOX Hiding behind, hiding behind your masks While the supplies, while the supplies will last “ -Five Iron Frenzy, “While Supplies Last”
