Leaving Jesusland (7" Version)
NOFX

We call the heartland not very smart land
IQs are very low but threat levels are high
They got a mandate, they don't want man dates
They got so many hates and people to despise

In the dust bowl, cerebral black hole
The average weight is well over 200 pounds
I hate to generalize, but have you seen their thighs?
Most haven't seen their genitalia in a while

Maybe that's why they're so pissed at us
They're all jealous we're having better sex

Queers, transgens and lesbians
Vegan kids and vegetarians
All you brownish, red and yellow ones
Come and join us on the coast

No longer svelte
They gotta punch new holes in the bible belt
They've blown out the fire under the melting pot
The red blood of America's starting to clot

No compromise, no sight through others' eyes
They're just flies spreading pieces of shit
You've gotta immigrate, stop living in hate
What makes this country great is dwelling on either side

They don't want visitors in Jesusland
They want life bland and canned in the fatherland

We want people with college degrees
Drug use, experience and STDs
People with open-minded philosophies
Come hug California trees

Cultural revolution now
The old conservatives run out of town
We're gonna burn Orange County down
Then we're off to Riverside
Bakersfield and Fresno too
Then we're coming after you!

The fear-stricken born again Christian
They've got a vision of a homogenized state
Texas textbooks, Bibles and prayerbooks
They want 'em memorized but don't want you to think

They don't want visitors in Jesusland
They want life bland and canned in the fatherland

Punk rockers and emo kids
People doing things the church forbids
Buddhists, Agnostics and Atheists
We're moving out of Jesusland

Art students and thespians
Excluding country, all the musicians
We want all hookers and comedians
Nihilists are welcome too

No longer svelte
They gotta punch new holes in the bible belt
