In a shopping mall, Trent (Andrew Rannells) sings this gospel-style song to the Christian kids who have shunned Emma (Jo Ellen Pellman), pointing out that they themselves break numerous rules set down in the Bible on a regular basis.
[TRENT, spoken]
You can't cherry pick the bible, choosing which parts you wanna believe
[KAYLEE, spoken]
We don't do that
[TRENT, spoken]
You don't? What's this?
(sung)
Kaylee has a small tattoo
That tattoo would be taboo
Kaylee, guess what waits for you?
An eternity in the fiery pits of hell
[KAYLEE]
Hey!
[TRENT]
Shelby, you seem sweet to me
But if it has come to be
You've lost your virginity
We'll be stoning you and your family as well
[SHELBY]
What?
[TRENT]
Or we could use some common sense instead
When you're lost it always helps recalling
Those immortal words that Jesus said
There's one rule that trumps them all
Love thy neighbor
Love thy neighbor
Love thy neighbor trumps them all
Love thy neighbor
Love thy neighbor
Love thy neighbor trumps them all
(Spoken)
[SHELBY]
You know, you kinda make sense
[KAYLEE]
What are you talking about?
[SHELBY]
Oh, come on. You guys don't even feel like slightly bad for Emma? I mean, you guys used to hang out
[KAYLEE]
That was before she turned gay
[SHELBY]
Well, maybe she was always gay
[TRENT]
Exactly, because that's the way God made her, Shelby
[KAYLEE]
Whatever
[TRENT]
Hey, it's the Godspell kids!
[NICK]
Hey Trent, what's going on?
[KEVIN]
He's just trying to confuse us, because my stepdad says --
[TRENT]
Whoa! Stepdad? Do you mean your parents are divorced?
[KEVIN]
Yeah, and?
[TRENT]
Well, divorce is a big no-no
(Song)
Not to oversimplify
But the scripture does imply
That your mom will have to die
How's tomorrow if she's not got any plans?
There's no way to separate
Which rules you can violate
Let's hope you don't masturbate
'Cause the scripture says we'll have to cut off your ...hands
Or we could use some common sense instead
When you're lost, it always helps recalling
Those immortal words that Jesus said
[ALL]
There's one rule that trumps them all
Love thy neighbor
Love thy neighbor
[TRENT]
Love thy neighbor trumps them all
[ALL]
Love thy neighbor
Love thy neighbor
Love thy neighbor trumps them all
[SHELBY]
Love thy neighbor
[TRENT]
Yes!
[NICK]
Love thy neighbor trumps them all
[TRENT]
Alright!
[KEVIN]
Love thy neighbor
[TRENT]
Love thy neighbor
[KAYLEE]
Love thy neighbor
[ALL]
Trumps them all!
(dance break)
Love thy neighbor
Love thy neighbor
Love thy neighbor trumps them all
Love thy neighbor
Love thy neighbor
Love thy neighbor
[TRENT + (ALL)]
Trumps them all! (Love thy neighbor!)
(Love thy neighbor!)
(Love thy neighbor, here I come!)
Time to make some better choices
Drop the hate, and raise your voices
[TRENT + ALL]
Love thy neighbor is the one that trumps them all
[ALL + (TRENT)]
Love thy neighbor! (Love thy neighbor!)
Love thy neighbor
[TRENT]
Jesus take the wheel and steer it
If you feel the Holy spirit
Come on kids and let me hear it
What?
[ALL + (TRENT)]
Love thy neighbor (Alright now)
Love thy neighbor
Love thy neighbor trumps them all
Love thy neighbor
Love thy neighbor
Love thy neighbor trumps them all!
