The FuMP

Lyrics

I thought gay rights were here to stay But right wing holdouts won't obey Defending homophobia With religion-based myopia But if that's why they're resistant, they oughta be consistent They're just cherry picking the bible to block equality The proof is undeniable of their hypocrisy They apply selective economy To what they do from Deuteronomy You can't just choose which rules you will obey If you cite the Bible, then follow it all the way Like Pork & shellfish they can't eat And don't go mixing milk and meat On Sabbath no work can you do, and it's a sin to get a tattoo Mixed fabric clothing never wear and don’t trim your beard or hair If all that you don't follow, your argument's hard to swallow It’s cherry picking the bible to say, There's no Adam and Steve That logic isn't viable with what else you don't believe Don’t rail against same sex at us Til you observe each word of Exodus You can't just choose which rules you will obey If you cite the Bible, then follow it all the way The bible also okays slavery And women are husband's property Men can have a lot of wives Nonvirgin brides should lose their lives When kids commit gluttony give ‘em the death penalty If all that you don't observe, you’ve got a lot of nerve to go cherry picking the Torah to redefine reality Like, the sin in Sodom & Gomorrah, was actually lack of hospitality Plus the whole “gay menace” is Not mentioned once in Genesis No skipping Scripture bits you don't wanna use If you cite the bible you can't just pick & choose Plus the line you've quoted all along Says laying with another man is wrong But I guess it's fine to do it standing up, sitting or swimmin' And it doesn’t say a thing against two women - (which makes the Bible kinda like porn!) It's cherry picking the good book to say men can't marry men If homophobes just would look, we've all evolved since then Even the most semitic us Ignore most of Leviticus You're just cherry picking so they can discriminate No need to get all blistery, you're on the losing side of history When you’re cherry picking to justify your hate Your side used the same rationalization for laws against miscegenation Quit cherry picking the bible to block equality! - Oy vey!
