lyrics

Dad, what a surprise
I didn’t expect to see you until summertime
is everything okay
what’s going on
what’s with all these questions
of course, I’m still your son

you say that you don’t know who I am anymore
you say you don’t know who I am

Elijah, I saw you holding hands
in that coffee shop with another man
and I don’t know why you’d be holding hands
unless now my son is some kind of fag

don’t try to hide it
God always knows when you lie
don’t you dare make excuses
you can’t change my mind

you better cut this shit out
or I’ll throw you to the curbside
where there’s no more college
and no more healthcare
and no chance of a prayer

oh my god
what do I do
now I have to have dinner with him
what can I do

wipe off my tears
go get dressed
there’s still be time for Patrick’s party
just go get dressed

how can this happen
how did he see
and why does he have this fucking grip on me
God’s grip on me

if someone has a stubborn and rebellious son
who does not obey his father and mother
and will not listen to them when they discipline him
his father and mother shall take hold of him
and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town
they shall say to the elders, they shall say to the elders
“this son of ours is stubborn and rebellious,
he will not obey us, he is a glutton and a drunkard,”
then all the men of his town are to stone him to death
you must purge the evil from among you
all Israel will hear of it and be afraid
