there's a military base and it's called Fort Hood
where the United States army stands for freedom and good
strong brave men and women, ain't no chickens
and some of them soldiers are Pagans and Wiccans
they follow their paths and they worship as they please
like the US Constitution guarantees
in the First Amendment, it's our freedom of religion
when it comes to gods, make your own decisions
so these Pagan soldiers who defend our nation
decided to form a little congregation
do some ritual and some celebration
they call it "Open Circle", it's a big sensation
cause someone wrote a story in an Austin newspaper
and it wasn't no bottom of the garbage can scraper
informative and fair, a good opinion shaper
until it reached the hands of a loony bin escaper
he was a preacher named Harvey in the town of Killeen
he was narrow minded, hateful, nasty, bigoted and mean
barking and growling like a dog with rabies
telling everybody that witches eat babies
asking his followers to bring their guns
to church in case we try to snatch their younguns
lots of good people tried to set him straight
but he wouldn't listen to em or let go of his hate
cause it's hot as Hell in Texas
he's not quite well in Texas
Near Killeen and Fort Hood's a town called Copperas Cove
there's a witch shop there that's a real treasure trove
they sell crystals, cards, books and herbs, anything you please
they even got Loke E. Coyote CD's
so Harvey decided he should run them out of town
he gathered up his followers and headed on down
but the Pagans got wind of it and called up all their friends
cause we'll never let the Burning Times happen again
cause it's hot as Hell in Texas
and he's hot as Hell in Texas
Well the big day came and we met up at the store
there was at least a hundred fifty of us, maybe many more
there were Wiccans, Druids, Atheists, and even Christians too
with a cross and shirt asking "what would Jesus do?"
Harvey stamped and screamed and he rattled his sabre
we waved a big sign that said "love thy neighbor"
He said "you sinners and you witches are all gonna burn in Hell
just like the southern baptists, homos and the Jews as well"
he said
"God hates sinners, God hates sinners
God hates sinners and we're all sinners
we're all sinners, every last one of us,
all you unclean witches and us christians on the bus
you and me, everybody
we're all sinners, everyone's a sinner
everyone's a sinner and God hates sinners
everyone's a sinner and God hates sinners
everyone's a sinner and God hates everyone
God hates everyone, God hates everyone
God hates
everyone"
I didn't quite know what to make of what he said
Jesus preached love but he was spoutin hate instead
I asked "exactly which god is it you're praying to?
now is it Jesus Christ or is it Cthulhu?"
cause it's hot as Hell in Texas
he's hot as Hell in Texas
he shouted thru his bullhorn and we did some songs and chants
we offered him a drink in case he's thirsty from his rants
we got a little closer and he almost wet his pants
he thought we would attack, we did a spiral dance
he was afraid we'd hex him and then he'd be cursed
but he's already Jack Harvey, we can't make it any worse
ignorant, narrowminded, bigoted and bitter
the last thing he saw was us cleaning up his litter
cause it's hot as Hell in Texas
but all is well in Texas
ring the Liberty Bell in Texas
cause we ain't goin to Hell in Texas
