Garfunkel & Oates
The Loophole
[Verse 1]
All my life I've been good
Do what my mom and dad and God say I should
Go to church and Bible School
To live by God's rule
So whatever people tell me
That the Bible tells me
I will do
Walk the halls of high school with my purity ring
Unlike those other girls, I got my morals in check
It was easy to do 'til I got a boyfriend
And pardon my French, but he's cute as heck
But I made a pact to keep my hymen intact
And Jesus and I are tight
Never learned about the birds and the bees
I was taught to keep an aspirin in-between my knees
'Cause The Bible says premarital sex is wrong
But Jason says that guys can't wait that long
I don't wanna lose him to someone who'll do him
I need to figure something out
Well, there's a loophole in The Scripture that works really well
So I can get him off without going to hell
It's my Hail Mary, full of grace
In Jesus' name, we go to fifth base
Oh, thank you for making me holy
And thank you for giving me holes to choose from
And since I'm not a godless whore
He'll have to come in the back door, therefore
[Chorus]
Fuck me in the ass, 'cause I love Jesus
The good Lord would want it that way
Gimme that sweet sensation of a throbbing rationalization
It's just between you and me
'Cause everyone knows it's the sex
That God can't see

[Verse 2]
It's hard to be as pure as me
To resist the urge to lose my vaginal virginity
To wait until my marriage bed
To give my husband my unsullied maidenhead
So take your cock out, shove it in my ass
Fuck me until you cum, oops! I mean
Let's join our souls and unite our bodies
And fly with the wings of God
Whatever you do, don't touch my clitoris
If you ring Satan's doorbell, God can't ignore this
And no prophylactics when you put it in
'Cause birth control's for sluts and it's a sin
I've emptied my bowels and laid out the towels
I'm ready for romance
Now I'm praying to the Power that's the Highest
But of all of my holes, this one's the driest
And we can't procreate if we anally copulate
And God's okay with sodomy, but only if you're straight
And I'm staying pure, no matter what
So I'm okay with everything, but... everything, but...
Everything butt... (Woah)
[Chorus]
Fuck me in the ass, 'cause I love Jesus
The good Lord would want it that way
Gimme that sweet sensation of a rock hard rationalization
It's just between you and me
'Cause everyone knows it's the sex
That God can't see

[Bridge]
I do whatever The Bible tells me to
Except for the parts that I choose to ignore
'Cause they're unrealistic and inconvenient
But the rest I live by for sure
So let's not talk about how the Good Book bans shellfish, polyester and divorce
And how it condones slavery and killing gays, 'cause those parts don't count, of course
Let's cherry-pick the part about losing my cherry and mine it for ambiguities and omissions
To circumvent any real sacrifice, but still feel pious in my arbitrary parroted positions
And don't you dare question my convictions
And don't look closely at the contradictions
Just focus on the sacrificial crucifixion
And have faith in its complete jurisdiction
As the only way to measure if you're good or not
And in a debate, just say to “have faith”
'Cause when up against logic, it's the only card you've got
So close your eyes
Take a deep breath, and
[Chorus]
Fuck me in the ass, 'cause I love Jesus
The good Lord would want it that way
Gimme that sweet sensation of an irrational rationalization
It's just between you and me
'Cause everyone knows it's the sex
That God can't see

[Outro]
Yeah, my chastity belt has locks
But sometimes you need to think outside the box
