FREE WILL

AS A CHILD I SAT IN THE PEWS OF YOUR CHURCH

AND YOU TOLD ME OF GOD'S FREE WILL

AND THEN AS A TEEN YOU DID ALL THAT YOU COULD

TO KEEP ME FROM TAKING THE PILL

AND NOW YOUR TELLING ALL THE WORLD GAYS AND LESBIANS ARE ILL

IT'S TIME YOU TOOK RESPONSIBILITY, CUZ I'M HANDING YOU THE BILL

YOU SAID WE SHOULDN'T TALK ABOUT MASTURBATION IN OUR SCHOOLS

THEN YOU RUINED PEOPLES LIVES FOR NOT FOLLOWING YOUR RULES

AND WE SIT AND NOD OUR HEADS AND LET YOU TREAT US LIKE WE'RE FOOLS

BUT YOUR RHETORIC IS KILLING WITH ALL THE HATRED THAT IT FUELS

MY WILL, NOT THY WILL... GOD GAVE IT TO ME

THE COURSE OF MY HEART IS NOT FOR YOU TO SEE

I WILL STAND UP AND BE WHAT GOD WANTS ME TO BE

AND THAT IS FREE... YES, THAT IS FREE

WHEN I WAS A CHILD YOU USED GOD'S WORDS TO JUSTIFY YOUR ATTACKS

ON PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT LANDS AND FOLKS WHOSE SKIN IS BLACK

AND FOR CENTURIES YOU'VE STIFLED ME

AND YOU'VE HELD MY SISTERS BACK

BUT WE'RE TAKING BACK OUR POWER NOW,

AND WE'RE DONE CUTTING YOU SLACK

chorus

YOU WIN BY INTIMIDATION, YOU SLING MUD AND GUILT AND SHAME

BUT I CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU AND YOU HAVE YOURSELVES TO BLAME

YOU USE THE AMMO OF GOD'S WORDS BUT YOU HAVE A LOUSY AIM

GOD SPEAKS TO YOU, BUT NOT TO ME... I'M NOT PLAYING YOUR GAME
