John Mccutcheon - Talking Pat and Jerry Blues lyrics

On September 11th The awful news came Our tears and our innocence Fell like rain Glued to the screens Of our TV sets It's a day that none of us Will ever forget As the dust settled And we counted the cost We were all drawn together By the lives that were lost "Who could have done this?" Arose the shout Well, two guys from Virginia Have is all figured out Two television preachers Got it down In Virginia Beach And Lynchburg town Jerry Falwell And Pat Robertson Let us all in On why the deed was done It was pro-choice folks That caused that day Feminists, liberals And, of course, the gays Jerry and Pat said God got pissed Hijacked some planes And…you know the rest Jerry, you were mildly amusing With the Tinky Winky stuff And when Pat ran for President It was hilarious enough But when this came out I couldn't resist Now God's not the only One who's pissed How dare you exploit This fragile time Tying innocent people To this horrible crime At a time we should Stand side by side You chose, instead, To help divide But at least you've cleared up Some of our doubts Now we all know exactly What you're about: Out of step with your religions And full of fear Fundamentalist fanatics Who live right here Sheltered by the State Out of reach You terrorize By what you preach We're tired of you telling us Just what's what I say, "Jerry and Pat: Shut the hell up!"
