"They're down on their knees, begging us please, praying that we don't exist...."

I love this lyric. It says so much about the hypocrisy of organized religion in one simple line.

While the religious types get down on their knees and pray to their god which they are convinced exists, they also simultaneously get down on their knees and use their religion to pray and argue against equality for gay people - praying that 'we don't exist'. Pretty ironic, isn't it.
