“Bible Belt (Flush It Down)” — Satirical Song Outline
Verse 1
Welcome to the Bible Belt, where the gospel’s always loud,
We preach love and charity, but sewage’s in the ground.
We say “help thy neighbor,” but only if they’re white,
If you’re Black in Lowndes County, you just pray for a better night.
Chorus
Bible Belt, Bible Belt, hallelujah, can’t you smell?
Sanctified on Sunday, but on Monday, it’s a living hell.
Trump says “no more justice, no more D-E-I,”
Flush those promises away, let the Black Belt cry.
Proverbs 31:8-9
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy.”
Verse 2
We got a deal for clean water, signed with hope and prayer,
But Trump said “that’s too woke,” so now there’s waste everywhere.
“National interest,” he declares, “not arbitrary need,”
But the only thing that’s flowing here is hypocrisy and greed.
Chorus
Bible Belt, Bible Belt, hallelujah, can’t you smell?
Sanctified on Sunday, but on Monday, it’s a living hell.
Trump says “no more justice, no more D-E-I
Flush those promises away, let the Black Belt cry.
Bridge
Preach equality and dignity, then pull the funds away,
Say “every soul is precious”—unless they’re Black and can’t pay.
The sewage keeps on rising, but the sermons never change,
In the land of milk and honey, only some get to partake.
Psalm 82:3
“Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.”
Children play in muddy yards, barefoot on poisoned ground,
Sewage seeps where grass should grow, worms lurking all around.
Tiny feet bring hookworms in, hunger and weakness spread,
All because the pipes are broke and justice turns its head
Final Chorus
Bible Belt, Bible Belt, hallelujah, can’t you smell?
Sanctified on Sunday, but on Monday, it’s a living hell.
Trump says “no more justice, no more D-E-I
Flush those promises away, let the Black Belt cry.
