You Can't Pray the Gay Away Songtext
von Laura Bell Bundy

Brothers and Sisters
Prayer is a powerful thing
In these tryin′ times, we pray
We pray hard

But, there are some matters
Where we would be better servants of the Lord
By acceptin' was it
And not botherin′ him

Come on!

You can't pray the gay away
(You can't pray the gay away)
No matter what your preacher say
(No matter what your preacher say)
There′s no fighting DNA
You can′t pray the gay away

Mama, oh, mama, you can't blame yourself
Just ′cause your baby boy took your high heels off the shelf
Daddy, thought football would make a man of him
But now he spends all his time cruising the gym


You can't pray the gay away
(You can′t pray the gay away)
No matter what your preacher say
(No matter what your preacher say)
There's no fighting DNA
You can′t pray the gay away

Well, the Reverend Bill, at the church of Christ
Says he needs reprogramming
"That boy ain't right"
Send him off to camp where he could get fixed
Had the summer of his life
Never saw so many dicks, ha-ha

You can't pray the gay away
(You can′t pray the gay away)
No matter what your preacher say
(No matter what your preacher say)
There′s no fighting DNA
You can't pray the gay away


You may not know it
But you know lots of them
Statistically speakin′
One out of every ten
Every family's got one
You might call him Auntie Fred
Mama says he harmless, ′lest, he's tryin′ to give you head
Aw!

You can't pray the gay away
(You can't pray the gay away)
No matter what your preacher say
(No matter what your preacher say)
There′s no fighting DNA
You can′t pray the gay away
Hey, you can't pray the gay away

A-men

Hallelujah
Bless your heart
