Newcomer TX2 is all about pushing back against institutions, whether it be organized religion, state and local governments, the gender binary, and beyond. In his recent song “Randy McNally (No Love Like Christian Hate),” he calls out Tennessee Lt. Governor Randy McNally for signing anti-drag and anti-trans bills. He also calls out Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and Arkansas State Senator Gary Stubblefield, two Republicans who have pushed anti-drag legislation. As more and more laws and rhetoric are pushed against LGBTQIA+ individuals in the name of Christian principles, TX2 urgently sings ‘You base your life off an ancient scroll, out there burnin’ witches / Fillin’ up the ditches, tell me can I still be saved?’ TX2 also used this raw music video to showcase the talents of drag performers Gigi Flores, Trash Ketchum, Lilith Moon, and Avant Garbage.
Put a bullet in a kids head
Think they’ve got a sickness if they’re not dressed up straight
But what happens in the closet
Doesn’t matter if you profit from the flag of the USA
You’re too fucking old, you do as you’re told
You base your life off an ancient scroll
Out there burning witches, filling up the ditches
Tell me, can I still be saved?
There’s no love like Christian hate
Let’s all count down ’til judgement day
How tall is heavens gate if you stand outside and pass the blame?
Your God is a rope he used to pull close
You tie it up around my throat
So tell me, who do you pray to?
When I’m on my knees I can play too
Hey Bill Lee, it’s nice to finally meet (hey Bill!)
I know you find me pretty wearing a dress in the street
Do you wanna come and see what I hide underneath?
It’s a gun and it’s free, you should point it at me (bang!)
‘Cause you got secrets too
(And you too Gary, I know you do!)
So tell us all the truth
Do you think Jesus loves me?
There’s no love like Christian hate
Let’s all count down ’til judgement day
How tall is heavens gate if you stand outside and pass the blame?
Your God is a rope he used to pull close
You tie it up around my throat
So tell me, who do you pray to?
When I’m on my knees I can play too!
it’s time we burn all the books
Censor their looks and listen to the crooks (yes sir)
Listen up, the churches giving head to staple
Putting countless lives at stake
Diggin’ thousands of new graves for children who can’t be saved
Bang! Bang! Kill ’em all
Watch a whole country fall and it’s all your fault ’cause there
There’s no love like Christian hate
Let’s all count down ’til judgement day
How tall is heavens gate if you stand outside and pass the blame?
I know you want us fags to burn in flames
Your God is a rope he used to pull close
You tie it up around my throat
So tell me, who do you pray to?
When I’m on my knees I can play too!
