Homeowners Association
He had a statue of the Blessed Mother right there on his front lawn
Oh how God's Light reflected upon Her in the early morning dawn
But then one day he heard some knocking on his front door
It was the homeowners saying, hey, you can't have that anymore
Not that we mean any sort or type or even any kind of disrespect
It's just that not all tend to agree with the views that you reflect
She will have to be taken down and kept well out of public sight
For this is not the type of town that are in the words that you write
And that flag that is there just hanging off of your window
Well I'm sorry to say Sir, but that too will also have to go
It's not that I don't love that old Red, White and Blue
But we as American's must respect everyone else too
Oh and about that Pro-Life bumper-sticker that you just got
Right now, to get rid of that... we can't really do a whole lot
But tomorrow is coming and it is going to be a whole new day
Maybe it might be for the best if you just packed up and went away
