Keep Honking, Jesus Loves Reloading

I was walking towards the bus stop through the alley
When I heard a preacher, preaching loud
I saw a car parked right in front of me
So I stopped for a second to try and figure it out

“ Keep Honkin‘, I’m Reloadin’ ”
That is what the bumper sticker said
“To Jesus you are beholden”
That is what the radio preacher said

Keep Honking, Jesus Loves Reloading
That is kind of what I heard
And it made me wonder, not quite out loud
About the Lord and the use of His Holy Word.

Keep Honking, Jesus Loves Reloading
Mohammed is strapping on his suicide suit
Even “the Buddha is smiling”
Is code for India’s success with their test nuke

I don’t hear much about my religion
Probably because I made it up
Keep Honking, Jesus Loves Reloading
Me I am going to just get on the bus.

My Government

My government, Oh my government
It’s not his government
and it was never meant for this

I think of Thomas Paine and yeah, Paul Revere
Riding through the night with freedom’s light

My government, Oh my government
It’s not his government
And it was never meant for this

You know history
and it’s easy to see
The doom in every destiny
Still it’s our responsibility
to tread lightly

My government, Oh my government
It’s not his government
And it was never meant for this

You know we stole this land
We think we have the upper hand
Now we’re stealing oil and watching gas prices go higher
I’m thinking about the Roman Empire.

My government, Oh my government
It’s your government
Lets see if it still works

My country ‘tis of thee
Supposed to be a democracy
Can we really be free
With this dependency
This insatiable need

My government, Oh my government
It’s not his government
It doesn’t have to stand for this.
We don’t have to stand for this
Rise up!
We ain’t gonna stand for this
