He will then be reborn from 1970's porn,
Wearing tubesocks with style, and such an innocent smile
Better pray for your sins, better pray for your sins
'Cause the gay messiah's coming
He will fall from the stars, Studio 54
And appear on the sand of Fire Island's shore
Better pray for your sins, better pray for your sins
'Cause the gay messiah's coming
No it will not be me, Rufus the Baptist I be
No I won't be the one baptized in cum
What will happen instead, someone will demand my head
And then I will kneel down, and give it to them looking down
Better pray for your sins, better pray for your sins
'Cause the gay messiah's coming |  |

- "Interestingly enough this started off as a party song. What Passion of the Christ is to Christians this song is to the gay world. It's definitely a protest song, and I want people to hear it so I wrote it so that musically, it would be rather simple and accessible."
- A recording of this track was released on June 29, 2004 via iTunes as a sample of Want Two. Rufus wanted to have this song and 3 others released prior to the American election in November '04. This electronic EP is titled Waiting For a Want
