Leaving Jesusland
NOFX

We call the heartland not very smart land, iq's 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 the thighs, most haven't seen their genitalia in a while


Maybe that's why they're so scared of us

We've concerns other than fear and hunger pangs


Queers, transgends, and lesbians, vegans 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 is starting to clot

No compromise, no sight through others' eyes, they're just flies spreading pieces of shit

You gotta emigrate, stop living in hate, what makes this country great is dwelling on either side


They don't want visitors in Jesusland

They want life canned and bland in the fatherland


We want people with college degrees, drug use experience and std's

People with open-minded philosophies, come hug California trees

Cultural revolution now, neo-conservatives run outta town

We're gonna burn Orange County down,

And then we're off to Riverside, Bakersfield and Fresno too, then we're coming after you


The fear stricken, born again Christian, they got a vision a homogenized state

Textbook decline, Intelligent Design

They wan't to memorize but don't want you to think


They don't want visitors in Jesusland

They want life canned and bland 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
