God, Tattoos and Taboos
Now I enter public school
Where religion is against the rules
You may deface your arms with tattoos
But don't speak of God, that's taboo
Shave your head or color it green
Elect a transgender homecoming queen
Just don't study the Bible; it's obscene
Since progressive values it may demean
Study Marx & Lenin, Malcom X
Start a chat group 'bout kinky sex
Learn that indigenous people are always right
But not Abraham or Moses -- they were white
Thank God school's over for today
Time to leave ~ Go home and pray
