lyrics

In Greenville county, South Carolina,
Young people out on a Friday night
Telling others they'll go to hell
Just because they don't like Bob Jones?

Bible Belt -Is that your bible?
Bible Belt - condoning hatred?

In the town o' Murphy, North Carolina,
people are good and God-fearin'
yet a killer finds they sympathize:
"why he's pro-life; he kills for God!"

Bible Belt - Is that your bible?
Bible Belt - condoning violence?

Bible Belt - Is that your bible?
Bible Belt - condoning murder?

Bible Belt - must be a weird bible
Bible Belt - or bad interpretation?
Bible Belt - there must be a reason
Bible Belt - fundamental mistakes

Let's see if I've got this straight:
Originally spoken in Aramaic
Handed down orally for decades
Many versions written in Greek
Translated into Latin about 400 A.D.
Copied by hand for 1000 years
English translations for the next 700
- Forget hermeneutics?
You're telling me you know exactly what was meant?
I don't theeenk so.

Now in this here country,
the U.S. of A.
Good folk say:
"God Bless You"
But they don't mind invading countries,
inflicting suffering while smiling from pews

Bible Belt - Is that your bible?
Bible Belt - condoning warfare?

Bible Belt - just because
Bible Belt - God's on your side
Bible Belt - it doesn't follow
Bible Belt - you're on God's side
