And I'm staying pure, no matter what
G                      A

Everything butt
Everything butt
Whoa-oh

Chorus:
D                        G
Fuck me in the ass 'cause I love Jesus
Bm                           G   A
The good Lord would want it that way
D              E             G        E
Get that sweet sensation a rock hard rationalization

G                       A
It's just between you and me
G                              A                  D
'Cause everyone knows it's the sex that God can't see

Bm                       E
I do whatever The Bible tells me to
Bm                             A
Except for the parts that I choose to ignore
Bm                             A
Because they're unrealistic and inconvenient
Bm                      E
But the rest I live by for sure


G                                                   A
So let's not talk about how the Good Book bans shellfish, polyester and divorce
G                                           A
And how it condones slavery and killing gays because those parts don't happen of course
E                                                       G
Let's cherry-pick the part about losing my cherry and (line up for ambiguities as omissions?)
 A                             Bm
And circumvent any real sacrifice, and still feel pious in my arbitrary parroted
E
positions

D                  A                Bm
And don't you dare question my convictions
E                                   G
And don't look closely at the contradictions
D                     A                   Bm
And just focus on the sacrificial crucifixion
E                                     G
And have faith in its complete jurisdiction

E
As the only way to measure if you're good or not
And when you're in a debate, just say to “have faith”
                                                                                                A
Because when you're up against logic it's the only card you've got

G
So close your eyes
A
Take a deep breath
And..

Chorus:
D                      G
Fuck me in the ass 'cause I love Jesus
Bm                         G      A
The good Lord would want it that way
D             E             G           E
Get that sweet sensation an irrational rationalization


G                      A
It's just between you and me
G                 A                            E
'Cause everyone knows it's the sex that God can't see
G                        A
Yeah, my chastity belt has locks
G                  A                        D
So sometimes you need to think outside the box
