The Loophole Songtext

von Garfunkel and Oates

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've got my morals in check
It was easy to do until 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 want to 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

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

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 maiden head

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 ones the driest
And we can't procreate if we anally copulate
And God is OK with sodomy, but only if you're straight

And I'm staying pure, no matter what
So I'm OK with everything but...
Everything but...
Everything butt

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

I do whatever The Bible tells me to
Except for the parts that I choose to ignore
Because 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 because 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"
Because when you're up against logic, it's the only card you've got
So close your eyes
Take a deep breath
And.
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
Yeah, my chastity belt has locks
But sometimes you need to think outside the box
