Lyrics:
Pray Like a Vigilante
by Mike Maimone
(c) 2012
I’m in a marriage of convenience with Jebus
We are one deep down in my heart
but not legally so,
because down here you know
we’re keepin’ all the faggots apart.
I impart the Good Book from its shelf
of course, the Good Word needs our help,
’cause it’s wrong to love a man as you love yourself…
If you don’t win ’em all you don’t win at all
If you settle for pick and choose, honey you just lose
But if you pray like a vigilante
well welcome to my country
grab your cross
grab your gun
and do as you please.
I’m in a marriage of convenience with Jebus
his love I bring forth every day
like saints in Hum-Vs
at home and overseas
His message on each word I say
Our Father who art upon high
for our sins you sent your son to die
and if you would execute – than why wouldn’t I?
If you don’t win ’em all you don’t win at all
If you settle for pick and choose, honey you just lose
But if you pray like a vigilante
well welcome to my country
grab your cross
grab your gun
and do as you please.
