I’m going to Republican heaven, Going to meet Republican Jesus After I pay off my school loans Whenever my banker pleases To let me out of the contract With its usurious interest fees And I am sure I will get there When I am down on my knees.
I’ll have my Republican Bible With its verses edited wisely To exempt all the white folk From behaving quite nicely And making sure welfare Is only for rich white neighbors The rest are not allowed in Our society except as laborers.
I am sure that Republican Jesus Will welcome me quite warmly For supporting the death toll Of our Christian Soldier army. He will be so delighted that We vilified ungodly abortions And how we treated those awful Poor mothers and their orphans.
He will have to be delighted That we held back the riches We gained from our warfare Ignoring our soldiers in ditches Or maimed in those battles We know you wanted us to wage In the name of Republican Jesus Out of our holy sense of rage.
Republican Jesus surely will See how cleverly we diverted The money to the richest people Not the soldiers we deserted. And, how only the people who Did not need help financially Got all the extra wealth we had And we made sure of it annually.
I’m going to Republican heaven, Going to meet Republican Jesus And I’m sure greed and bigotry Will just tickle him to pieces Because it says in the Bible The only people who will get in Are the people that look like me And vote for all the same men.
