Don't Call Yourself a Christian - Eric Schwartz

Lyrics
Nice hat. Bright red
A recycled nazi slogan Emblazoned on your head
Hold a moment...let me check
Unless I’m mistaken, that’s cross around your neck
That’s for a lover. And the hat’s for a liar
They go together like Holy water and Hellfire
Well done. Nice move
But I’ve got a hard time believing that your Jesus would approve

If you held your tongue when 45 made fun of a prisoner of war
As he lined his cronies’ pockets while abandoning the poor
If he put those kids in cages and you voiced no opposition
You can call yourself a Trumper, don’t call yourself a Christian

That bible on your shelf have you read it?
The part about loving your neighbors, about giving help to strangers
I know you say you love the guy who said it.
I hear that he loves you, but he loves all sinners too
So don’t feel special. It wasn’t earned
And You could not fill up a Dixie Cup with everything you’ve learned

You can call yourself American, that’s all well and good
You can call yourself Republican, though I don’t know why you would
You call your self pro-life while abandoning the livin'
You can call me sick heretic, but don’t call yourself a Christian

You swear that you’re "God fearing", I’d fear him too.
If I believed in him and I behaved like you
Trumpeting your righteousness while casting every stone
And worshiping a golden calf on his golden throne

if you force a girl to bear a child
And that child grows up in poverty because assistance is denied
She goes to class one sunny day
And has to hide out in a closet thanks to the NRA
She runs home, choking on the air.
Cuz the EPA’s been gutted by a gutter billionaire

Who abuses his authority, sows hatred of minorities
Steals from his own charities, defrauds his university
Brags about adultery, lies to you relentlessly
Conducts treasonous diplomacy, threatening our democracy

Takes infinite emoluments, weaponizes ignorance
Glorifies his decadence, ridicules intelligence
Undermines the sciences , invalidates alliances
Advocating violence, destroying the environment

Demonizes immigrants, puts crosshairs on our journalists
He defends the white supremacists, helps the isis terrorists
He's a Rapist and a racist, and a braggart (traitor) and a bully
A narcissist, misogynist and this is just a partial list


And if all of that’s okay with you then listen
There just might be a message you’ve been missin'
Until you make compassion your mission
Don’t call yourself a Christian.
