Maybe you grew up a little like I did
Maybe you knew someone like me as a kid
Maybe you worked through your own shit
Or learned that the one fix is
Believing you can pray it away, 'cause hey
They hit you over the head with it
Stuff it down your throat
Say ya need to be forgiven
While they keep casting stones
And I know that they mean well
They’re just trying to save ya from hell
But I’m still bleeding from that beating
I got from the Bible belt
They told me Jesus would save me from my sin
But they still paint pictures of Him with white skin
They made some bad outta that Good Book
And I hate that it took
So long to get over what it did to me
They hit you over the head with it
Stuff it down your throat
Say ya need to be forgiven
While they keep casting stones
And I know that they mean well
They’re just trying to save ya from hell
But I’m still bleeding from that beating
I got from the Bible belt
No there ain’t nothing wrong with having religion
Ain’t trying to change no one’s minds
Ain’t trying to look down or judge their convictions
Just wish they would stop judging mine
'Cause they hit you over the head with it
Stuff it down your throat
Say ya need to be forgiven
While they keep casting stones
And I know that they mean well
They’re just trying to save ya from hell
But I’m still bleeding from that beating
I got from the Bible belt
Yeah, I got from the Bible belt
