you can’t build that here
we’re putting in a sports bar
you can’t move in next door
this area is specially zoned
you can’t buy that book here
people who read that make us nervous
you can’t marry that person
what will happen to our children?
why do you hate America so?
this is the land of the free
hey you can’t teach that in school
we’ll have to call the police
you can’t wear those clothes
it upsets the public well being
you can’t mourn for the dead
or mention the dead or try to stop
any more killing with the traditions
of the heresies you worship
why do you hate America so?
we are one nation under God
God has warned us about your plan
you can’t build that here
we don’t want to be reminded
about fearful things like love
