Lyrics

Smack dab in the middle of the Bible Belt's where I was born and raised In a little town down in the south Oklahoma Plains Where the holy rollers sin the same as stoners, but they look down their nose in shame On all of us that ain't in the pews of the church house on Sunday Now I ain't saying that all apples are bad, but a bad one spoils the bunch Perched high upon their pedestal, Telling me I shouldn't judge But they're the first to cast that stone of faith from a house that's made of glass I'd like to be the bigger man, but they can all just kiss my ass I've spent my time feeling guilty About the questions in my mind So many things I just don't understand Too many don't know whys But some things you shouldn't utter For the judgement sure will come From the ones that bend the Scripture In the town where I come from Like sheep we're taught as children Just to follow with blind faith We're raised up not to challenge What the preacher has to say While the morals that he's teaching Well, they surely have their place What if his interpretation And mine just ain't the same I've spent my time feeling guilty About the questions in my mind So many things I just don't understand Too many don't know whys But some things you shouldn't utter For the judgement sure will come From the ones that bend the Scripture In the town where I come from
