Bible Ain't Say That

I was flipping through the channels last Sunday
Looking for the end of the game
When I stumbled on a preacher in a powder blue suit
Cursing refugees in Jesus' name

He said, They're pourin' in over the border
Smugglin' drugs and guns
And the good book says to build a big bad wall
To protect God's chosen ones

I said, Hold on now what was that?
Mama said to turn your cheek, baby, not your back
Just cuz you get an amen, don't make it a fact
Even the Devil knows the Bible ain't say that

Mama forgive me, I just don't recall,
The last time I went to Sunday School
But I don't think the powder blue preacher's words
Much reflect that Golden Rule

So I called on an old friend of mine in Nashville
Who's always been a God-fearing man
And axed him tell me where that good book speaks of
Talkin' English in the Promised Land

He said, Hold on, now, what was that?
Don't get your religion from the bargain rack
You gotta turn your cheek, not turn your back
Even the devil knows the Bible ain't say that

You know it always seemed a little funny to me
Mullin' over what Jesus would do
He wouldn't lock up a baby
And throw out the key
Damn sure he wouldn't do it to you

Hey, what was that?
Don't get your religion from the bargain rack
You gotta turn your cheek, not turn your back
Even the Devil knows the Bible ain't say that

Even a Baptist knows the Bible ain't say that
