Westboro Baptist Church Parodies Fall Out Boy In New Song [LISTEN]

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?

That's probably the sentiment Fall Out Boy will go with after the infamous Westboro Baptist Church recorded a parody of the band's "Thnks fr th Mmrs," titled "Thnk Gd Fr Vrything."

Westboro, an ultra-conservative religious sect based in Kansas, often pickets popular events. Earlier this year, they appeared outside Panic At The Disco!'s show in Kansas City. The band responded by donating $20 to Pride 2014 for every member of the church that showed up.

WBC recently announced they would picket Fall Out Boy's Saturday show in KC.

No word yet on the band's response, but it's doubtful they'll make it through the whole parody without yakking. Hastily recorded and in need of some serious Auto-Tune work, "Thnk Gd Fr Vrything" is about as overzealous as you might think.

The lyrics range from nuanced ("One god, one truth, one way") to not so much ("You're going to hell"), and the background music appears to be a downloaded karaoke instrumental.

Here are the full lyrics (thanks, Alt Press):

"The cords you cast and bands you break
(rage and imagine a vain thing)
Say a prayer but you won't eat the roll
You think God doesn't know?
Shut his people up, won't make things right
'cause it's your wrongs that show you need the bread of life
"Who does he think he is?"
If that's the way you think
then God Almighty's your enemy

One God, one truth, one way
Thank God for everything
To the Lord our praises sing
"His word like honey, only sweeter,"
He wounds, heals, makes alive and kills
Thank God for everything, Thank God for everything
"The voice of God breaketh the cedars"

Look close at your eternal future
But your eyesight is goin' bad
You're headed to Hell
Follow your lusts and us ignore
Your time to repent (repent will pass)
The chaff he'll fan (chaff he'll fan)

One God, one truth, one way
Thank God for everything
To the Lord our praises sing
"His word like honey, only sweeter,"
He wounds, heals, makes alive and kills
Thank God for everything, Thank God for everything
"The voice of God breaketh the cedars"

You think abomination has some strength in numbers?
Like that Great Whore, paying all her lovers
His word is out of mind and His hatred only grows
Instead of obeying God, your filthy sins you pursued, whoa

One God, one truth, one way
Thank God for everything
To the Lord our praises sing
"His word like honey, only sweeter,"
He wounds, heals, makes alive and kills
Thank God for everything, Thank God for everything
"The voice of God breaketh the cedars"

One God, one truth, one way (One God one truth one way)
Thank God for everything
To the Lord our praises sing
"His word like honey, only sweeter." (Oh)

One God, one truth, one way (One God one truth one way)
Thank God for everything, Thank God for everything (Thank God for everything, Thank God for everything)
"The voice of God breaketh the cedars" (Oh)"
