"Standard White Jesus" by Timbuk 3

How much of this plastic JUNK will I find on the sidewalk in a few months?

A few of the DVD's I've watched recently have religious (Christianity) undertones and I've found it very disturbing.  The misogyny is extremely upsetting and in the movie "Breach" it really freaked me out!  How can anybody have beliefs that insane?

Anyway, this song popped into my head this morning.  They really nailed it in this song:

Bow down to the standard white Jesus on the cross
and read the letters that children write to the standard white Santa Claus
They want flash, something awesome
Somethin' with a little kick,
Somethin' semi-automatic just might just do the trick

They want weapons to arm themselves against every childhood fear
They want rockets to fly up to heaven and get the hell outta here

I like their discussion about it in the MTV video.
