Semler - Youth Group Lyrics

Youth group lock-ins are a really strange concept that
Youth group leaders seem to really like
It's like "Let's take some repressed, hormonal teenagers
And put 'em in a church and hope they find Jesus overnight"
Like Jesus is a ghost hiding in the church
And if you just stay long enough you'll find him
But in my experience the only thing you find
Is your sexuality!
This one's for the kids who had their sexual awakening at the youth group lock-in
It must have been confusing and I hope you're doing well
Be kind to yourself
Take care of that kid
You're not what they said about you
And a loser in a button up can't send you to hell
No
Church camp, youth group they really tried it on us
Now we're grown up and we're fucked up
Is there still a God we can trust?
Youth group, church camp they really tried it on us
Now I'm grown up and I'm fucked up
Is there still a God I can trust?
If you're out there, I'm waiting
If you're out there, I'm praying
If you're out there, I'm waiting
If you're out there, I'm praying
