way up to his illegitimate presidency and problematic crucifixion.
Along the way, we find ourselves in a Florida classroom on a terrible
morning ("The Pet Goat"), in a suburban American household divided by
politics ("You Voted Republican"), and at a meeting of the Evangelical
Christian Political Operative Organization, or ECPOO. The group's leader
declares that "just as God spoke to Moses, he now speaks to us -- through
a Bush. A BURNING BUSH!"

I guess we're all stuck
right in the middle of Jesus's Jihad -- JEE-HAD!
Onward, Christian soldiers of the right!
When we marched into Washington D.C.
we couldn't say that we had -- WE HAD!
seen the Constitution, but we'd seen the light.
Oh yes we're all stuck
right in the middle of Jesus's Jihad -- JEE-HAD!
It's not the gentlest fundamentalist corp!
We're washing sin from Washington.
Read the Bible, grab a gun!
We won't stop until we've won
the Great American Holy War!
You're gonna see the population boom.
The Ten Commandments are posted in the womb.
We're marching toward the great day when
even the unborn are born again.
Although it may sound dopey, it is true:
the masses need an opiate or two.
So come aboard the new zeitgeist:
war and hunger in the name of -- JESUS CHRIST!
right in the middle of Jesus's Jihad -- JEE-HAD!
