Welcome to the Nazarene summer camp
Got any questions?
Umm
Are fireworks here bombings over Gaza?
What
Will water sports turn into an Intifada?
No and no
Are campfires all lit up tires from last week's riot?
That one's spot on
And do I fill them in that I'm American
Or should I keep quiet?
Dude
This is a summer camp
Not a refugee camp
This is a summer camp
With a few quirks I'll share through a vamp
This camp was built to connect us to our roots
Like olive trees, they don't need
To go too deep to bare their fruits
We all find our home here
Really?
Well
Unless you're Muslim or Black or queer
Americans should be fine though, anyway
Do you believe in God?
Um, no
Then congratulations
For what?
Now ya do, Fouad
Why is there a nun on this bus?
Nun-ya business
Oh, that's just Mary Jane
That's Sister Mary Jane to you
Sister?
Our counselors here are nuns who have retired
Nuns can retire?
In other words, they've all been sort of fired
In the pits of Hell
I've done some things I'm ashamed to sing
And can't wash in holy waters
But our King of Kings sent me here to bring
The good word to his sons and daughters
This is a summer camp
Not a refugee camp
Might you join me now to light a fire?
Which rages like the burning bush, but higher
American
If soldiers come, say it's your bus
And drive it well, capiche-ee?
But in New York, they don't teach us
Then say it's your hasheeshi
This is a summer camp
Not a refugee camp
This is a summer camp
That the Pope rated fifth
In all of Nazareth
