We should not be surprised by sexual assault

We allowed a monster to take office

In the name of Christianity, a symmetry of gestalt

He spoke several times over, its women who are at fault

“Grab them by the kitty”, now a neo prophet

We should not be surprised by sexual assault

Now Moore is praised, pedophilia is to be exalt

You voted for these deprived men, grotesque and raucous

In the name of Christianity, a symmetry of gestalt

What is to come next, the sublimity of the accost

Where is your moral compass, becoming wayward and lawless

We should not be surprised by sexual assault

What else will you Conservatives allow, what will you not halt?

Lusting after minors as you hide in a coppice?

In the name of Christianity, a symmetry of gestalt

Shame on you, you’re disgusting and its you who are at fault

Aligned and supportive of the Republican caucus

We should not be surprised by sexual assault

In the name of Christianity, a symmetry of gestalt
