Crossing state lines Carrying her daddy's secret They'll call her a whore Holding portraits of Jesus Waving picket signs Begging her to keep this Innocent life While they're tearing hers to pieces No, I shouldn't be surprised But it still gets me every time I'm mean, I've set this bar so low But I guess it's still too high No hate like Christian love No hate like Christian love I know that cognitive dissonance Is burning through your brain And baby, you can shoot the messenger But I didn't coin the phrase No hate like Christian love No hate like Christian love Sleeping at a friend's Cause his sister let it slip His father is pastor His mother bites her lip While her husband preaches kindness And all irony is lost They'll trade their only son For a story 'bout a cross I know I shouldn't be surprised But it still gets me every time I'm mean, I've set this bar so low But I guess it's still too high No hate like Christian love No hate like Christian love I know that cognitive dissonance Is burning through your brain And baby, you can shoot the messenger But I didn't coin the phrase No hate like Christian love No hate like Christian love
