Between Christian Rock and a Hard Place
I never thought I'd see the day
When church kids chose the hardcore way
And I expected quite a fight: punk rock vs the Christian right
So now I wonder what went wrong,
the hymnal has the perfect song
You picked a bible, and now you're gone
So if you're waiting for judgment day
Or if you're waiting to get paid
It's all the same, it's just two different ways to pray
That we don't need, don't want your fairy tales or greed
The scene is strong and we're still gone be here when you're gone
I never thought I'd see a time, when punk rock was the party line
Believe me it was quite a shock
When underground turned corporate rock
I'd never thought of selling out, money's not what this is about
Then we saw the bottom line
We said, "it's a deal! Where do we sign?"
When church kids chose the hardcore way
And I expected quite a fight: punk rock vs the Christian right
So now I wonder what went wrong,
the hymnal has the perfect song
You picked a bible, and now you're gone
So if you're waiting for judgment day
Or if you're waiting to get paid
It's all the same, it's just two different ways to pray
That we don't need, don't want your fairy tales or greed
The scene is strong and we're still gone be here when you're gone
I never thought I'd see a time, when punk rock was the party line
Believe me it was quite a shock
When underground turned corporate rock
I'd never thought of selling out, money's not what this is about
Then we saw the bottom line
We said, "it's a deal! Where do we sign?"
