Failure To Excommunicate

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
And how we're entrusting him with authority.
His gavel's gone down before he looked in your
heart. He finished this race(ism) before he reached the start.

CHORUS:
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.

The world just keeps you at an 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.
And how we're entrusting them with authority.
Their gavel's gone down before they looked in your heart.

CHORUS
Failure to excommunicate...
They finished this race(ism) before he reached the start.
