Priorities: About using gay marriage and flag burning as red herrings to get those evangelicals out to vote.

I love my wife and she loves me
We’ve been together 20 years
I never dreamed our marriage could be
Threatened by a bunch of queers
When gays they started letting gays get married
It was a tragedy
If gays love each other the way we do
Where’s our marital sanctity? (Amen)

Now a radical flag burner
Can be more dangerous than a married queer
When two were busted recently
We were paralyzed with fear
Let’s stick them in Guantanamo
For a year or two
They’ll show more appreciation
For the old red, white and blue.

Chorus:
Oh will we have the courage?
will we pass the test?
Could there be more pressing issues
Our leaders might address?
Will flag burning and gay marriage
Decide our country’s fate
Oh—God bless our president
His priorities are straight

God came to me in a dream last night
And this is what he had to say
Amend the constitution and legislate the problem away
Don’t let your martial sanctity
Be attacked by a bunch of fags
Then amend the constitution again
So you can torture people who burn flags

Chorus
