The Exorcist Lyrics
Preacher preaching rubbish,
Rambling, condemning sodomy,
Vocal variation of an awfully botched lobotomy
Scream about the gays and how you wish you could exterminate ‘em,
Jesus would’ve hated the way you’ve portrayed him
Love they neighbour right? Or is that only if they’re rich, able-bodied, cis, hetero and white
I’m starting to think this lord of yours is overrated,
If he made you in his image, must’ve been real inebriated
You can’t live in peace,
Gotta “shove it down our throats”,
God forbid your kid is queer,
You have a damn stroke
“I can fix him”
For your daddy up above,
‘cos there’s just no hate like Christian love
And when it comes to women’s bodies,
You’re crying and bitching,
Wrecking God’s green earth
With all the cherry picking
“Don’t hate the sinner, hate the sin”
As if that’s any better.
By the way, nice denim jeans
And polyester sweater. (HAHAHAHA)

I’m starting to think this lord of yours is overrated,
If he made you in his image, must’ve been real inebriated
“He’s coming back”
You say while trembling in fear
Same bullshit for 2000 years
“Jesus loves you!”
That’s manipulation.
Going door to door,
Neighbourhood indoctrination
I don’t care what your little book says,
What part of that
Isn’t getting through your head?
You go on to eternity in heaven,
I’ll be getting head in circle seven (HAHAHAHA)

If he made you in his image, must’ve been real inebriated
Oh, divine and holy gentleman
Who’d never be dishonest,
You’re allowed to touch young boys?
But women must stay modest?
How long do you think
You can keep up this façade
Soon everyone around you, boy,
Will know that you’re a fraud.
Hypocritical, delusional,
And for that, I applaud.
You’re closer to a jail cell
Than you’ll ever be to God.

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
I feel like this song is quite clearly about "traditional" Christians, some of whom are homophobic, ableist, transphobic, racist, misogynistic A lot of very bad things. I believe this song is quite clearly a jab at those people, who are prejudiced, and sometimes much worse, but who pass it off as preaching their religion. It is not against Christianity, even through it may seem like that, especially in the line "'cos there's just no hate like Christian love." This is mitigated, however, when it is said "Jesus would’ve hated the way you’ve portrayed him Love they neighbour right? Or is that only if they’re rich, able-bodied, cis, hetero and white?"
Repeat: Not anti-Christian, anti-discrimination.
