Lyrics
Now I'm gonna tell a story
About a kid named Ren
Born way back in '73
I's such a queer kid
My dad would fuss & holler
And try to fix my head
Took a belt to the back of m'legs and
Prayed to wash away my sin
Only made me fear him
And fill more and more with dread
Til he sat me down with a big ol' frown
And this is what he said, he said now
Son, tell Jesus you're straight
Then things will be great
With what yer going through
Son, tell Jesus you're straight
Nevermind the hate
So what ya gonna do
Well, they held an intervention
What was I s'pose to do
Hope for some enlightenment
Or tell a fib or two
So I told my dad I promise
The only man I'd love
Was that man called Jesus Christ
And hoped that'd be enough
He still said son, tell Jesus you're straight
Then things will be great
With what yer going through
Son, tell Jesus you're straight
Nevermind the hate
So what ya gonna do
I escape out of my prison
Got away from "dear old dad"
Packed my shit and drove away
Never to look back
Did he learn a lesson
Did he reconcile the past
Or did he sit around, way too proud
and think I'd come around at last
He still said son, tell Jesus you're straight
Then things will be great
With what yer going through
Son, tell Jesus you're straight
Nevermind the hate
So what ya gonna do
Well hold on my friend
This story don't end
With fairy tales
Just broken trails to mend
Decades gone by
A few times I tried
But deaf ears
And death fears reside
The moral it seems
Don't ignore your kids feelins
Just let them go live their fucking life
And don't say son, (my son) tell Jesus you're straight (not gay)
Then things will be great (get saved)
With what yer going through (halleluuuu)
Son, (my son) tell Jesus you're straight (not gay)
Nevermind the hate (get saved)
So what ya gonna do (Jesus fix my)
Son, (my son) tell Jesus you're straight (not gay)
Then things will be great (get saved)
With what yer going through (halleluuuu)
Son, (my son) tell Jesus you're straight (not gay)
Nevermind the hate (get saved)
So what ya gonna do
