Failure To Excommunicate

Relient K · The Anatomy Of The Tongue In Cheek [2001]

It's the principle,

it's the issue,

that your principal would dismiss you

Because you don't fit into that all-American box

That coffin created for creative thought



It's disgusting, his priorities

How we're entrusting him with authority

His gavel's gone down before he looked in your heart

He finished this racism before he reached the start



Jesus loved the outcasts

He loves the ones the world just loves to hate

And as long as there's a heaven,

there'll be a failure to excommunicate



(instrumental)



The world just keeps you at arm's length

Every week you work up the strength

to fight the flames that are hurled

Let your faith shine right through

You know it's the world versus Jesus and you



It's disgusting, their priorities

How we're entrusting them with authority

Their gavel's gone down before they looked in your heart

They finished this racism before they reached the start



Jesus loved the outcasts

He loves the ones the world just loves to hate

And as long as there's a heaven,

there'll be a failure to excommunicate

(Repeat X2)
