about

This was 1 of 4 Demo tracks created with Kevin Clark and Chris Defibaugh of Dreadwolf for the Band of Fancy Villains. Pay what you want. All proceeds will be donated to Kevin's family for funeral and memorial service expenses.

This song contains harsh language but it is intended to be supportive of the LGBTQ+ community and critical of the conservative Christian attitude that is often held toward homosexuality.

Authors note:
Homosexuality is not a sin nor should it be represented as being "a harder life" nor are the lambs of the LGBTG+ community lost in any capacity. These lyrics were written over ten years ago and fail to incorporate the correct modern perspective.
We had planned to re-record this and never release this demo version but now with Kevin's passing think it would be appropriate to publish for the beginning of Pride Month in Kevin's honor.

LYRICS:
Sometimes it makes me sick
All those Christian hypocrites
Turning them people away

Well they say its for the lord when
They’re yelling out their slurs
Like “I hope you burn in hell one day”

All them hypocrite preachers
Those self righteous teachers
Will all burn in hell one day

Because their aint no sign on heavens gates
That says “no faggots, no queers, or no gays”

Sometimes it makes me cry thinking about those suicides
From parents disowning their kids
So your son likes a boy
Well it's really not your choice
May be a harder life I know
But it’s theirs

What happened to the love?
“Judge not lest ye be Judged”
That churches once taught to everyone
Well it might be a “sin”, but are yours less than theirs?
Who are you to cast the first stone?

All them hypocrite preachers
Those self righteous teachers
Will all burn in hell one day

Because their aint no sign on heavens gates
That says “no faggots, no queers, or no gays”

Sometimes it makes me sick
These high and mighty hypocrites
Turning their backs on their friends
Well they say you’re on the wrong path I won’t associate with that
Won’t even try to save those “lost lambs”

All them hypocrite preachers
Those self righteous teachers
Will all burn in hell one day

Because their aint no sign on heavens gates
That says “no faggots, no queers, or no gays”
